Name missing from Delhi draft voter list after SIR? Here’s what you can do next

Name missing from Delhi draft voter list after SIR? Here’s what you can do next

Delhi residents discovered that their names were omitted from the draft electoral rolls after a two-and-a-half month Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Nearly a third of the city's voters found their names missing. Despite submitting all required documents and repeatedly seeking clarification from Booth Level Officers, many were left confused about the next steps.

The election commission has assured that those with missing names will receive a notice explaining the reason for exclusion and outlining necessary actions to rectify the situation. However, the specific documents to be submitted or the deadline for resubmission remain unclear. Voters in Faridabad faced a different scenario where the deadline to submit documents ended on Sunday.

They were required to submit one of three forms: one for enrolling as a new voter, another to request name deletion, or a third to correct personal details. The election commission emphasizes that legally, every voter who has submitted documents must receive a notice before their name is removed from the list.
