The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said on Saturday that the names of former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his family have gone missing from Delhi’s voter list, referring to the draft and the notices issued under the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by the Election Commission. Because they did not map themselves to the previous SIR list, an EC official later clarified that they will be added to the final list, to come on November 6, as notices have been issued only.

A similar notice was issued to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta — with the reason being an age discrepancy relative to her parents — though in her case the electoral registration officer of Shalimar Bagh constituency issued a statement that the details had been verified and she’s been added to the final list. In all, over 31 lakh electors have been issued notices as per details shared on Saturday, and the draft voter list has 97.5 lakh names. That draft came after 47.5 lakh voters were removed at the draft stage for having permanently shifted or being absent, having died, or being enrolled at multiple places.
