Delhi SIR: Advani, EAM cleared after verification
The Economic Times reports that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Delhi has concluded with the validation of most prominent voters' details, clearing them to be included in the final electoral roll. BJP leader LK Advani, former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal were among the high-profile individuals issued notices due to discrepancies in their enumeration forms.
The notices were issued because these individuals were unmapped following the last SIR in 2002. Poll officials visited these voters to verify their details using supporting documents provided by the Election Commission. After verification, their names were reserved for the final electoral rolls, set to be published on November 4.
The Election Commission instructed that notices be issued for members of judiciary, public representatives, holders of declared offices, and notable figures from various fields whose names did not match the draft roll published on August 31. Over 97 lakh electors are included in the draft electoral roll, with 33.13 lakh identified for notices over discrepancies.
