The Delhi Election Commission (EC) has published online a list of name discrepancies and dates of birth of residents in the draft SIR list and is sending notices to the persons named to present documents, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ashok Kumar said on Saturday.
On August 31, the EC published a draft electoral roll with 47 lakh of the city’s 1.45 crore voters excised.
Every one in three voters in Delhi was removed from the draft roll published as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list.
The electoral roll officer teams are holding camps for hearings, he Kumar said, adding that if necessary, the number of camps would be increased.

“Currently, our hearings on the claims and objection process are underway, so notices are being sent to the public. There are two types of notices: one for unmapped voters, plus one for mapped voters, but there are small discrepancies in their names or date of birth, etc., for which notices are being sent,” the CEO said at a press conference.
The list is currently in the public domain, on our website, and available at prominent places, he said.
