Delhi Election Commission publishes names excluded from Delhi electoral roll
The draft roll removed one in every three Delhi voters as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list
The Delhi Election Commission (EC) has recently released a list of individuals whose names and dates of birth were found to have discrepancies in the draft SIR (Special Intensive Revision) electoral roll. CEO Ashok Kumar announced this development on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The EC had initially published a draft electoral roll on August 31, 2026, which excluded 47 lakh (4.7 million) out of the city's 1.45 crore voters as part of the revision process.
Kumar informed that the electoral roll officers are conducting hearings and camps across the city to address claims and objections. Separate notices have been issued to two categories of voters: those whose names were unmapped and those whose names were mapped but had discrepancies in their names or dates of birth. The EC is actively working to resolve these issues and has the flexibility to increase the number of camps if necessary.
The list of discrepancies is now publicly available on the EC's website and at various other prominent locations.
