The poll authorities have set a target for booth-level officers (BLOs) to verify at least 10 electors daily. With 14,947 polling stations across the city, this translates into nearly 150,000 verifications a day. BLOs are required to visit electors at their residences and help them furnish the necessary documents and information.

According to official data, notices were served to nearly 3.3 million electors whose names appeared on the rolls but whose entries required verification. Of these, around 2 million have been verified.
