Gurgaon voters left off draft roll can seek inclusion by August 30

Gurgaon residents whose names do not appear in the draft electoral roll have until August 30 to apply for inclusion, according to a report on the ongoing SIR process.

The draft roll has dropped 4.5 lakh voters in the city, the report said. It also said documents associated with 2 lakh voters are being scrutinised. Claims are expected to be settled by September 28.

For residents, the immediate point is to check whether their name appears on the draft roll and act before the stated deadline if it does not. Being absent from the roll could affect a person’s ability to vote unless their claim for inclusion is accepted.

The available report does not specify the reason individual names were removed, the documents being checked, or the application route for people seeking inclusion. It also does not say whether the 2 lakh cases under scrutiny are separate from the 4.5 lakh names excluded from the draft list.

Residents should therefore verify their own status through official election channels and follow the instructions issued for claims and supporting papers. The reported September 28 settlement date indicates that the draft-list process is still underway rather than final.
