NEW DELHI: In the Union territory of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 29.7% of electors have been deleted from the draft electoral roll published on Friday, with officials overseeing the SIR (special intensive revision attributing the unique trend to the UT’s large migrant workforce and heavily industrialised economy.The largest share of deletions – 22.5% of the electorate – comprised voters who were marked absent or untraceable as they were not found on their registered addresses despite multiple visits by BLOs. Another 4.6% had permanently shifted, 1.7% had died, 0.6% were registered at multiple places, and 0.2% were deleted under the “others” category.Final voter roll on August 11Of the UT’s 4.28 lakh electors, just over 3 lakh, or 70.3%, submitted enumeration forms on June 4, when the SIR was announced. The remaining were removed from the draft roll.“The latest survey by the health department put the UT’s population at 6.8 lakh, of which around 3 lakh were migrants,” an officer involved in SIR told TOI.While 29.7% is the highest rate of deletion so far in any state/UT at the draft roll stage, it is not the final figure, as deleted names can be added back during the claims and objections period. Also, fresh enrolments (through Form 6) will also lead to some additions. The final roll will be published on August 11.
