Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer has issued notices to 33.13 lakh voters whose names in the draft rolls could not be mapped to the 2002 Special Intensive Revision (SIR) electoral roll or had discrepancies. Prominent names include former deputy PM LK Advani, former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, and several top bureaucrats and election officials. The CEO's office said the notices are part of the verification process and do not mean exclusion from the final roll.
As of September 19, 31.63 lakh notices had been served. Advani, his daughter Pratibha and daughter-in-law Geetika were flagged for being unmapped to the 2002 roll, while his son Jayant cleared the process. Sisodia and his family received notices for parent-name and self-name mismatches. Gupta's case was cleared after document verification. The claims and objections phase closes on September 30, and replies with documents are due by October 29. The final electoral roll will be published on November 4.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets present the story as straight reporting, attributing details to the Delhi CEO's office and officials. Ndtv.com and businesstoday.in focus narrowly on the list of prominent figures flagged, while thefederal.com adds broader context: the total count of 33.13 lakh voters, the September 30 deadline, and a clear statement that notices do not mean exclusion. The uniform framing across sources suggests no political slant in this factual administrative update. The key figure to watch is the final voter count after the October 29 reply deadline, which will reveal how many of the flagged 33 lakh are retained on the November 4 final roll.
