S Jaishankar, Ex-Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi, CBI Director Praveen Sood Get SIR Notices in Delhi

The EC said the notices are part of a wider verification drive over voter-record mismatches, with 33.13 lakh notices issued statewide.

  • During the Special Intensive Revision, the Election Commission issued notices to prominent figures including External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, former Deputy PM LK Advani, and Manish Sisodia in the New Delhi Assembly constituency.
  • Following the publication of draft electoral rolls, the Election Commission is issuing notices over discrepancies in voter records. Most flagged cases involve records that could not be matched with the 2002 electoral roll.
  • Other flagged individuals include CBI Director Praveen Sood, General Upendra Dwivedi, and late economist Bibek Debroy, all registered voters in the New Delhi Assembly constituency where notices were issued.
  • The Delhi CEO clarified that receiving a notice does not trigger automatic removal, as voters in flagged categories can correct information through ECINET or present their case for review.
  • Notice disposal concludes by October 29, with the final electoral roll scheduled for publication on November 4. Delhi received 84,263 Form 6 applications for voter inclusion between August 31 and September 19.
