EC sends notices to 31 lakh Delhi voters
On August 31, the Delhi Election Commission (EC) released a draft electoral roll, removing approximately 47 lakh voters from the city's 1.45 crore total. Nearly one-third of Delhi's voters were excluded from the draft. As of now, the EC has issued 31,63,930 notices to affected voters due to discrepancies or unlinked entries. These notices will be delivered to the concerned individuals.
The EC's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Ashok Kumar, announced that electoral roll officer teams are conducting hearings and will increase the number of camps if needed. Currently, the disposal of notices is expected to be completed by October 10. The list of voters receiving notices is now publicly available on the EC's website and at various notable locations.
People who receive a notice must submit their replies along with necessary documents to the electoral registration officer (ERO). The final electoral roll is scheduled for publication on November 4.
