Chief Electoral Officer Seeks Clarification on Missing 2002 Voter Mapping

In a routine SIR exercise, Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer identified gaps in the 2002 voter database that affected the records of Arvind Kejriwal, his wife, son, father and mother. The discrepancy led to a notice under the Special Intensive Revision mechanism, which aims to purge ineligible entries from the electoral roll. The notice lists the five family members by name and requests that they provide documentary proof to resolve the mismatch. The Election Commission has indicated that a comprehensive reply addressing the issue will be communicated soon. Meanwhile, the AAP has raised concerns, labeling the notice as politically motivated and demanding transparency from the electoral authorities.
