North and New Delhi districts leading in form distribution is interesting. But digitisation part needs more focus - we are in 2024, should be faster.
33 lakh forms distributed is impressive but only 1 lakh digitised? Yaar, government should put more manpower. My area in West Delhi had long queues for form submission. Hope they speed up before July 29 deadline.
Important process for clean electoral rolls. But why is Outer North district at 23.56% distribution while North East at 24.26%? Seems like some areas are being neglected. Every vote matters! 🇮🇳
The SIR Phase III is good but why only 22.84% coverage? Should be 100% by now. Also, I hope they are checking duplicate entries properly. Digital India needs better implementation in election work.
Election Commission is doing systematic work - North West district with 29.84% distribution is good. But I think they should use more technology like mobile apps for digitisation instead of paper forms. Still, appreciate the effort! 👍
