Muslims disproportionately flagged in Delhi SIR
Muslims, who form 13.6% of electors on Delhi’s draft roll, made up 20.3% of those flagged for ‘logical discrepancies’ and 30% of those flagged under five reasons indicative of family size by the Election Commission’s ERONET software.
The Hindu digitised Delhi’s draft SIR rolls, which had 97.54 lakh voters, of whom 33.12 lakh were flagged for notices by the ECI, to study patterns. The latter set included two distinct sets of electors: 13.79 lakh were flagged for being “Unmapped with Last SIR” and another 19.33 lakh for “logical discrepancies” based on eight reasons.
