Delhi electoral roll revision issues notices to millions, including high-profile leaders

The Election Commission of India is conducting a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi, resulting in notices being issued to over 3.3 million voters due to data discrepancies. These notices fall into two categories: voters whose details could not be linked to the previous 2002 SIR records, and those with logical discrepancies in their submitted enumeration forms.

Prominent figures receiving notices include External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, BJP veteran L.K. Advani, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and Election Commissioner S.S. Sandhu. Arvind Kejriwal and several family members were also notified under the ‘unmapped’ category. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta received a notice regarding an age-related mismatch, though her entry has since been validated.

The Aam Aadmi Party has criticized the process, suggesting political motivations behind the scrutiny of high-profile individuals. However, election officials clarified that receiving a notice is a procedural step for verification and does not automatically result in removal from the voter list. The final electoral roll is scheduled for publication on November 4, 2026.
