  "account": "Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with his family members, has been issued Special Intensive Revision (SIR) notices as part of the ongoing electoral revision process in Delhi. This decision came after discrepancies were found in their electoral details, as per the Election Registration Officer (ERO) in New Delhi constituency. Kejriwal, a national convenor for the Aam Aadmi Party, was among 3.31 million electors affected by the SIR exercise, which led to the publication of a draft electoral roll nearly three weeks after its initial release. The ERO clarified that Kejriwal and his family were placed under the 'No Mapping' category due to incomplete enumeration forms, making it impossible to link their details with the last revision of the electoral roll. The notices aimed to complete the document-based verification process and ensure the final electoral roll was accurate. The final electoral roll for Assembly Constituency 40 (New Delhi) is set to be published on November 4, 2026.",
  "summary": "At least 3.31 million electors were issued notices, which also included Delhi CM Rekha Gupta.",
