Developments: 4. The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) and the Election Commission are conducting a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) to update electoral rolls. This process has flagged approximately 3.31 million electors for discrepancies, including ‘No Mapping’ with previous records or ‘Logical Discrepancies’ in personal details. High-profile individuals have been issued notices, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his family, Union Minister S. Jaishankar, CBI Director Praveen Sood, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal, former Deputy PM LK Advani, and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia. Other notable recipients include Election Commissioner S.S. Sandhu, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, and SEBI Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has characterized these actions as politically motivated. The draft electoral roll published on August 31 showed a 32.8% decline in electors, dropping from 14.5 million to 9.75 million. As of late September, officials noted that only about 0.7% of those issued notices—approximately 23,000 people—have successfully cleared their hearings. The process has faced legal scrutiny. The Supreme Court of India expressed concern regarding the issuance of notices, observing that they appeared to be sent ‘almost mechanically’ without sufficient clarification of the underlying criteria for ‘logical discrepancies.’ The Commission maintains that the SIR is a standard procedure and that receiving a notice does not equate to permanent removal. Affected voters must present documentation to resolve discrepancies by October 29, with the final electoral roll scheduled for publication on November 4, 2026. ## Claims - Over 3.3 million electors in Delhi have been issued notices regarding discrepancies in their voter details.
