The Election Commission of India has announced a second chance for voters in Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, and Nagaland to be included in the final electoral roll. This decision follows the exclusion of a significant number of electors from the draft roll due to being marked as absent, shifted, dead, or duplicate. These voters can now apply for inclusion through a special process without needing to go through the regular fresh enrolment procedure. Instead of Form 6, they must submit an enumeration form along with a declaration explaining their circumstances. Booth-Level Officers will assist in contacting and helping these voters complete the process. Successful applicants will retain their original EPIC numbers.
The Commission has directed officials to set up a monitoring system to ensure no eligible voter is left out of the final electoral roll and to prevent duplicate entries. The deadline for filing claims and objections has been extended in Delhi, with the final electoral roll scheduled for publication in December.
