Later, physical verification was done but many of the centenarian voters were found to be dead, and some of them had shifted out of Delhi, so the final figure was revised,” a senior official of the Delhi CEO office told PTI. In the 2019 general elections, the Delhi CEO office had identified 96 centenarian voters in the city, and women had outnumbered men in that category. According to data shared by the Delhi CEO office, there were 42 male centenarian voters and 54 females in that category during last year’s polls.
