Election Commission deferment of Delhi electoral roll

Notes

• The Election Commission of India (EC) deferred the publication of the draft electoral roll for Delhi from August 24 to August 31.
• The final electoral roll publication is scheduled for November 4.
• The deferment follows a request by the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer to complete the rationalisation of polling stations.
• The rationalisation policy mandates a limit of 1,200 voters per polling station, reduced from the previous limit of 1,500.
• Data indicates 5,480 out of 13,033 polling stations in Delhi exceeded the 1,200-voter threshold.
• The process involves identifying overcrowded polling stations and shifting electors to new or existing stations.
• The claims and objections phase is scheduled from August 31 to September 30, with the notice and disposal phase ending on October 29.
