The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer has issued over 33 million notices to voters, including high-profile figures like External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and former Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani, following a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These system-generated notifications were triggered by data mismatches when comparing current enumeration forms against records from the 2002 revision. Officials clarified that receiving a notice does not imply removal from the electoral register, but rather serves as a procedural step to verify and update information within the ECINET system. While the process has caused public concern, the election office emphasized that the exercise is a standard administrative update rather than an indication of voter disenfranchisement. Authorities are currently validating documentation for affected individuals to ensure their inclusion in the final electoral roll.
