Overview

• Delhi has uploaded its 2002 voter roll with constituency mapping, begun training BLOs, and asked residents to verify entries to ease house-to-house enumeration.
• Voters listed in both 2002 and 2025 in Delhi will submit only an enumeration form with a 2002 extract, while those not on 2002 rolls but with parents listed must add identity proof.
• Karnataka says it can start after September 25 using the 2002 roll, with 58,000 BLOs trained, a freeze on routine roll changes during the drive, and QR-coded forms for verification.
• The Election Commission has not finalized uniform document rules or issued a national notification, as the Court has required Aadhaar be accepted as identity in Bihar and set final arguments for October 7.
• State preparations are accelerating in West Bengal and Kerala, where officials are working off early-2000s rolls and facing logistical challenges, even as parties clash over the risk of disenfranchisement.
