The Delhi Chief Minister received a notice on Saturday for discrepancies in her Special Intensive Revision (SIR) enrollment, a process that has already sent notices to about 33 lakh voters in the capital. The notice was served within the day and, according to the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer, Rekha Gupta’s documents were verified by a Booth Level Officer and her entry was marked "validated" before the end of the same day. The ERO’s statement did not disclose the exact times of the notice, document submission or the physical verification, leaving observers to question whether the same stringent timeline applied to the CM as it does to ordinary electors. The Shalimar Bagh electoral roll, which will be released on November 4, will include the CM’s name, a fact that underscores the speed of the process and the need for transparency in how discrepancies are handled. Meanwhile, the Election Commission has reiterated that notices are part of a standard procedure for voters whose details are unmapped or contain logical inconsistencies, and that records can be reinstated after the required paperwork is verified. The next step will be the public release of the final roll, which will formally confirm Rekha Gupta’s inclusion and potentially prompt a review of the verification timelines applied across the city.
