On Tuesday, 1,68,291 forms were distributed among voters and 7,605 were digitised. The cumulative figures up to 8 pm on Wednesday show that enumeration forms were distributed to 9,99,773 electors, accounting for 6.89 per cent of Delhi’s 1,45,10,298 registered voters. The data also shows that a total of 32,109 enumeration forms were digitised in two days, representing 0.22 per cent of the total electorate.
The North East district saw the highest number of forms distributed at 1,44,001, followed by North at 1,11,728, South West at 1,03,874, and West at 87,162.

The month-long survey will conclude on July 29. During the SIR exercise, booth level officers (BLOs) will provide each voter with two copies of the enumeration form to fill out their details as per the last SIR in 2002. One form will be kept as an acknowledgement, while the other will be returned to the BLO.
No document needs to be submitted along with the enumeration forms. The form must be filled out by each voter so that their names appear in the final electoral roll to be published on October 7. Names of those who fail to fill out the forms will be removed from the draft roll that will be published on August 5, according to the CEO’s office.
