A seven-day public audit of 258 households in two booths of Delhi’s Okhla constituency found at least 100 voters wrongly tagged ASDD — absent, shifted, dead or duplicate — in the special intensive revision (SIR) of the rolls. The Hindu, 18 October. This is not an Election Commission finding. It is a Jan Sunwai (public hearing) on Sunday, in Batla House, organised by Jan Sarokar, MKSS, Voter Adhikar Manch, NFIW.

The hearing was for G and K blocks, booths 61 and 65. Announcements also drew people from other booths. More than 150 registered to speak before a panel: advocates Nayantara Roy and Sumita Hazarika, activists Anjali Bhardwaj and Amrita Johri. Invitees: the BLO, the registration officer, the district magistrate, the ECI. The organisers: they did not come. That is their statement, not an absence we recorded on the ground.

Faiyaz Ahmed, 74, a retired Jamia Millia Islamia professor, at the same address for more than 50 years: “untraceable/absent”. His wife, Anjum Ara, 62: “permanently shifted”, ASDD list of 31 August. Their son says he gave the enumeration forms to the BLO; only his name reached the draft. Naeemuddin, 48, 30 years at the same address, also “permanently shifted”; he says the BLO photographed him and took his signature. The route is Form 6, as a new voter. This is not a conviction of the BLO. These are complaints at a hearing.

Okhla, still The Hindu: more than 1.85 lakh on the draft after enumeration; over 67,000 on the notice list; nearly 1.6 lakh on the ASDD list; the second-highest deletion rate in Delhi. Those figures are constituency-wide, not the 100 from two booths. We have not written that 1.6 lakh are all wrong.

The Delhi CEO has held weekend camps since 20 September at every polling station: “no eligible voter should be left out”. It ordered door-to-door re-verification of ASDD entries and restoration of eligible names. About 20 people, in The Hindu, did not know about the camps. The CEO page: Form 6 claims, 31 August–30 September. The hearing is 18 October; that window has passed. Field re-verification is another channel.

Two booths, a civic audit, a draft list. The Commission has not, in these texts, recognised 100 errors as an official tally.
