Delhi Electoral Scrutiny Sends Notices to 33.1 Lakh Voters
Delhi election officials are checking voter records before publishing a new final list.
They sent notices to about 33.1 lakh voters.
Some voters could not be matched with an older voter list.
Others had differences in names, birth dates, or other details.
A notice does not mean that someone has been removed from the voter list.
People can provide documents or appear for verification.
Rekha Gupta’s details were checked and her voter entry will be kept.
Arvind Kejriwal and members of his family also received notices, while the Aam Aadmi Party questioned the action.
Election authorities will issue and dispose of notices to 33,12,919 Delhi voters between August 31 and October 29.
The affected group includes 13,79,785 voters not linked to the previous electoral roll and 19,33,134 flagged for logical discrepancies.
Receiving a notice does not mean a voter’s name has been deleted; documents or verification may be required.
Rekha Gupta’s voter entry in Shalimar Bagh was validated after her documents and details were checked.
Arvind Kejriwal and family members received notices under the “no mapping” category, prompting criticism from the Aam Aadmi Party.
