An analysis of Delhi's draft electoral rolls, released as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, indicates that Muslims are disproportionately flagged for "logical discrepancies." The software-driven checks flagged Muslims at a rate 60% higher than non-Muslims.
Muslims constitute 13.6% of the total electors on Delhi's draft roll. However, they represented 20.3% of individuals flagged for "logical discrepancies." Furthermore, Muslims accounted for 30% of those flagged under categories related to family size.
The flagging process was not determined by Electoral Registration Officers, who are the official custodians of the rolls. Instead, the decisions were made by the Election Commission of India's (ECI) centralized ERONET software.
This finding emerged from an analysis of the draft electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Delhi.
