Around 3.3 million voters in Delhi received notices from the Election Commission during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, according to a September 21 report by Hindustan Times. The notices relate to issues identified during the verification and revision of electoral records. One major reason cited was that some voters could not be mapped to the previous SIR electoral roll. Other reasons included mismatches in names and discrepancies involving the ages of family members.
The Election Commission’s revision exercise is intended to verify electoral records and identify discrepancies in voter information. Receiving a notice does not automatically mean that a person’s name has been deleted from the electoral roll.
The process has attracted significant attention because of the large number of notices issued in Delhi. Voters who receive notices may need to provide relevant information or documents according to the Election Commission’s procedures.
The development comes as authorities continue reviewing electoral records ahead of future elections and related administrative processes. Citizens are advised to check official Election Commission information and respond through the prescribed channels if they receive a notice
