Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer Ranbir Singh on Thursday announced the launching of a special stall at the ongoing India International Trade Fair (IITF) to assist voters as a part of the ongoing special summary revision (SSR) with January 1, 2022 as the qualifying date.

“Since the event attracts a large number of young people, this decision was made to assist young people -- who have already turned 18 or will turn 18 by January 1, 2022 — but are not on the voters list, as well as other left out voters,” said Mr. Singh.

Monica Priyadarshini, New Delhi District Election Officer, said that a special team had been stationed at the IITF’s Delhi Pavilion booth to educate visitors about the voter helpline app. The initiative was undertaken by New Delhi District Election Office.
