Only 50-70 per cent of enumeration forms for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls had been distributed in Pune city’s Assembly constituencies as of July 28, according to data accessed by The Indian Express.
The SIR in Maharashtra began on June 30, and the first phase, involving the distribution and verification of enumeration forms, was originally scheduled to conclude on July 29.
The Indian Express had previously reported that BLOs were asking residents to travel to designated locations where SIR camps were being held to get their enumeration forms filled.
Kalaskar also said that around 15 to 20 lakh voters in Pune are expected to fall under the absent, shifted, deceased, or duplicate categories.
Under the SIR process, BLOs are required to visit a voter’s residence three times.
