This category accounted for 65.45 lakh voters, or 11.8% of the ASDDO list.The two-month claims, notices and objections phase, which began on August 24, saw about 43.8 lakh of the 4.4 crore draft listed voters (4,46,35,975) being issued notices.

Officials said that about 60,000 of them were excluded from the final list. Claims and objections could be filed only during the first month of this phase, until September 23.Between June 16 and September 23, 7.87 lakh citizens sought inclusion in the final voter list through Form 6 applications, while 4,530 NRIs sought inclusion through Form 6A.Objections to existing voters and requests for deletion, filed either by voters themselves or their families, amounted to 58,475.

Meanwhile, 10.99 lakh voters from the draft list sought modifications to their details, ranging from spelling corrections to changes in polling booth locations.The SIR activity in the state began on June 20, with the deployment of 59,050 booth-level officers (BLOs), 332 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) and 224 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs).There were 5,905 BLO supervisors, each overseeing 10 BLOs.

The district commissioners were designated as District Election Officers (DEOs), with 34 such officers across the state.The number of BLOs and AEROs increased over time to 60,932 and 4,258, respectively.Recognised political parties appointed 1.33 lakh booth-level agents (BLAs) during the enumeration phase to ensure the forms reached voters.These BLAs were also instrumental in filing objections against voters on the list during the subsequent claims and objections period.The enumeration phase began on June 30 and was granted two extensions. While it was originally scheduled to end on July 29, the CEO's office announced a 10-day extension to August 8 on July 15, owing to the large number of voters requiring ASDDO classification.

The deadline was subsequently extended by another 10 days.
