Delhi SIR: EC holds special camps for persons ‘left out’ of draft rolls after their homes were razed

Key numbers: 47.7 lakh voters removed from Delhi draft rolls; draft list has 97.5 lakh voters; removals are 33% of the electorate; 33 lakh voters served notices; verification by October 29; Why it matters: The camps follow concerns over deletions during the revision. The Supreme Court said notices appeared issued almost mechanically and that voters needed clarity on the reasons for them.
