The notices were issued after the publication of the draft electoral roll on August 31, which showed a 32.8% reduction in the number of registered voters from June 30 figures. Kejriwal's family, including his parents and son, have also been notified for similar issues. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal is another elector facing a similar situation due to non-mapped details. Election officials have identified various discrepancies, including parent-name mismatches, progeny age gaps, and inconsistencies in personal details, with notices being served to ensure electoral rolls are accurate.",
