Delhi SIR: Got an EC notice? CEO says names won’t be automatically deleted after Advani, Jaishankar among those flagged
The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer clarified that receiving a notice during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls does not guarantee removal from the voter list. Voters are entitled to present their case before any deletion occurs, ensuring due process is followed, they said.
The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer has clarified that receiving a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) notice does not mean an elector's name will be automatically removed from the voter list. This comes after notices were sent to prominent Delhi voters, including former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, among others, due to discrepancies in their SIR submissions.
The CEO's office emphasized that no voter can be deleted from the electoral roll without first being given a chance to present their case, and any deletion must follow a proper, appealable order. The draft electoral roll, compiled from details submitted by voters, was published on August 31, and the final roll is scheduled to be published on November 4.
