The Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is reshaping Delhi’s electoral rolls, with millions of voters either removed from the draft roll or asked to provide documents to establish their eligibility. The exercise has also drawn attention because several prominent figures, including Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, have received notices. This explainer examines how the Delhi SIR works, why nearly 47.56 lakh names were left out of the draft roll, the additional voters placed under notice, and the concerns raised over the impact on poorer neighbourhoods and other vulnerable groups. #DelhiSIR #SIR #ElectionCommission #ElectoralRolls #DelhiElections #VoterList #ECI #IndianElections
