Kejriwal Family Gets Delhi Voter List Revision Notices
Delhi officials are checking the city’s voter list through a process called the Special Intensive Revision.
Arvind Kejriwal and several members of his family received notices asking them to provide documents.
The Aam Aadmi Party said this meant their names were missing from the voter list and questioned how that could happen.
An Election Commission official said the names were still on the list.
The official explained that the notices were sent because the voters could not be linked to the previous voter list or had small information differences.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also received a notice because of a difference involving her parents’ recorded ages.
Officials later said her information had been checked and her name was included in the final list.
More than 31 lakh voters received similar notices across Delhi.
People can respond with documents during the claims period, and officials plan to finish reviewing the notices by October 10.
The Aam Aadmi Party said Arvind Kejriwal and his family were missing from Delhi’s draft voter list after receiving Special Intensive Revision notices.
An Election Commission official said the names remain on the electoral roll and notices were issued because they were not mapped to the previous revision or had discrepancies.
Notices went to Arvind Kejriwal, Sunita Kejriwal, Gobind Ram Kejriwal, Gita Devi and Pulkit Kejriwal in New Delhi constituency.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also received a notice over an age discrepancy involving her parents, but officials said her details were verified and included in the final list.
More than 31.6 lakh Delhi electors received notices after 47.5 lakh names were removed from the draft roll for reasons including relocation, death or duplicate enrollment.
