HOW THE ERRORS WERE

CAPTURED...

To capture the errors in Delhi’s voter rolls,

A voter list survey was done:

Voter-list Survey

• Voter list used as a sampling base

• Try to nd citizens on the list at their address

• Citizens not found at address listed require deletion. Could be

because:

• Citizen has shifted

• Citizen is dead

• Citizen is disenfranchised (in prison)

• Citizen is repeated on list

• Errors with registration details captured for citizens found

• Addresses not found in some cases

For the survey, 3210 citizens were approached in 408 Polling Parts spread across 8 Assembly Constituencies; a total effective sample size of 2971 was achieved afteraccounting for refusals and ‘door locked’. The ACs were a proportional mix of inner and outer as well as geographically spread across Delhi. Sampling was done in arandom manner to ensure valid representation of the 18+ voter population. The condence level of the sample is 95% with an interval of 1.8%. Research was undertakenusing electoral rolls published in October 2014. The sample was cross-checked with the summary revisions published on the 5th of January 2015 and the ndings wererevised on the basis of alignment with the revised rolls.

Extent of correctionsdone by the ECIAccording to the study, a certain proportion of

deletions were required to the rolls. The databelow highlights this requirement, compared to the

proportion of deletions made by the ECI in the last

summary revisions.

1. Deletions include shifted/dead/disenfranchised/repeats and address not found

2. Based on 96,640 deletions noted by the CEO, Delhi, Chandra Bhushan Kumar; Source - “89 thousand cases of multiple

entries found in Delhi electoral rolls” - Available: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-89-thousand-cases-of-multiple-

entries-found-in-delhi-electoral-rolls-2050013 (accessed date - 22/01/2015).

3. Study samples were derived using the October 2014 ECI rolls

4. Based on ECI summary revisions that were published on the 5th of January 2015

5. The survey found 5 citizens at their address (correctly) who, after the summary revisions, are now marked as ‘Shifted’.

The ECI also corrected 3 from the samples as ‘duplications’ which we have accounted for as corrected.
