New Delhi, Sept 1 (PTI) Women voters outnumber men in two of Delhi’s 70 Assembly constituencies in the draft electoral rolls prepared under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, with Greater Kailash recording the highest female surplus of 2,081, data showed.
Neighbouring Malviya Nagar is the only other constituency in the national capital where women outnumber men in the draft rolls.
According to the draft rolls published on Monday, Greater Kailash has 58,934 female electors against 56,853 males, giving women a surplus of 2,081. Women account for 50.89 per cent of the constituency’s 1,15,787 male and female electorate.
In Malviya Nagar, women outnumber men by a much narrower margin, with 46,066 female electors against 45,278 males – a surplus of 788. Women account for 50.43 per cent of the 91,344 male and female electorate in the south Delhi constituency, the data showed.
The two constituencies stand out against Delhi’s overall gender balance, where men still outnumber women by 2,24,856.
The draft rolls have 49,88,993 male electors and 47,64,137 female electors, besides 447 third-gender voters.
The gap between male and female voters, however, has narrowed considerably in several constituencies.
Sixteen of the 70 Assembly seats have fewer than 1,000 more male than female electors, with five having a gap of less than 500.
Tilak Nagar has the narrowest male lead among constituencies where men still outnumber women, with just 72 more male electors.
It is followed by Janakpuri (251), Jangpura (262), Shakur Basti (392) and Rajouri Garden (398).
The next smallest gaps are in Hari Nagar (533), Kasturba Nagar (583), Mangol Puri (621), Kalkaji (630), Shahdara (653), Seema Puri (659), RK Puram (765), Mehrauli (879), Karol Bagh (922) and Ambedkar Nagar (979).
At the city level, the gender balance has shifted towards women after the SIR. Women account for 48.85 per cent of the draft list, up from 46.21 per cent in the electoral roll used for the Assembly elections held in February last year.
Male electors fell from 83,49,645 in 2025 to 49,88,993 in the draft rolls, a decline of 40.25 per cent, while female electors declined 33.59 per cent, from 71,73,952 to 47,64,137.
The draft rolls contain 97,53,577 electors, 37.18 per cent fewer than the 1,55,24,858 voters in the 2025 Assembly rolls.
The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4. Those left out of the draft rolls can file claims till September 30 through Form 6 with supporting documents, while the notice and disposal process will continue till October 29. PTI MSJ VIT ARI
