  Delhi's SIR draft electoral roll excludes 47.7 lakh of 1.45 crore registered voters

  The Election Commission published Delhi's draft electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision on 31 August 2026, excluding around 47.7 lakh of the capital's roughly 1.45 crore registered voters. The excluded electors were classified under categories such as absent, shifted, dead, duplicate and others after a door to door enumeration exercise conducted between 30 June and 17 August, in which forms were digitised for about two thirds of the electorate. Around 34 percent of the enumeration forms received are flagged for further scrutiny over anomalies such as mismatches with the 2002 intensive revision roll or inconsistencies in age or family details. Affected voters can file claims for inclusion until 30 September, with the final electoral roll due for publication on 4 November 2026.

  Advani, Jaishankar and Dhankhar among 33.13 lakh voters served Delhi SIR discrepancy notices

  The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer's office said on 19 September 2026 that of the 97,53,577 electors on Delhi's Special Intensive Revision draft roll, 33,12,919 have been issued notices flagging discrepancies, including 13,79,785 classified as No Mapping with the last SIR conducted in 2002 and 19,33,134 under Logical Discrepancies. Those served notices include former deputy prime minister L K Advani, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, former vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar and Election Commissioner S S Sandhu, most for names that could not be matched to their 2002 electoral roll entries. Officials clarified that a discrepancy notice does not by itself mean deletion from the rolls, and affected voters can respond with supporting documents before the final roll is published.
