Delhi CEO Assures Voters No Deletions Without Proper Hearing
Delhi’s election office is checking its voter list.
Some people received notices because their information had problems or could not be matched with older records.
Getting a notice does not mean their names have already been removed.
Officials must first let each person explain and show documents.
People who receive notices can reply by October 29, 2026.
People missing from the draft list can apply using Form 6 by September 30.
Help will be available at special camps on September 27.
Drives will also help homeless citizens, transgender persons, and sex workers register.
The final voter list will be published on November 4, 2026.
The Delhi CEO said receiving an SIR notice does not mean a voter’s name will be deleted.
Names cannot be removed without an opportunity to be heard and a speaking, appealable order.
Notices mainly concern logical discrepancies or records that could not be mapped to past revisions.
Citizens can respond with documents by October 29, 2026; missing names can be added through Form 6 by September 30.
Special enrolment camps will run September 27, with the final electoral roll due November 4, 2026.
