EAM Jaishakankar, Election Commissioner Among Voters Flagged for Delhi SIR Data Discrepancy
On Sunday, the Delhi CEO Office issued notices to prominent figures, including External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, former deputy prime minister LK Advani, and former vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar, citing "discrepancies" in their details under the Special Intensive Revision process.
Officials launched the Special Intensive Revision to verify draft electoral rolls of over 97 lakh voters, triggering 33.13 lakh notices to those with "discrepancies" or entries unmapped against 2002 records.
The Delhi CEO Office clarified that receiving a notice does not indicate deletion, as verification continues; entries like late economist Bibek Debroy were marked "unmapped with last SIR" while others await document validation.
Voters have until October 29 to submit replies and supporting documents to their respective Electoral Registration Officers; officials confirmed no names will be deleted without providing an opportunity to be heard.
Following document verification, several entries have already been validated, including those of Election Commissioner S S Sandhu and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, with the final electoral roll for Assembly constituencies scheduled for publication on November 4.
