Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer Ranbir Singh on Wednesday directed 11 District Election Officers to ensure enrolment of young electors, between the age bracket of 18 to 29, to address the issue of under-representation in the electoral roll.
As part of the ongoing special summary revision for the electoral roll, with January 1, 2022 as the qualifying date, Mr. Singh emphasised on the need to improve the existing gender ratio by ensuring the enrolment of more women voters.
According to the latest electoral roll, released on November 1, the gender ratio stood at 829, while the ratio for the previous year’s roll — published on January 1, 2021 — was 826.
