The Delhi Election Commission has sent notices to Arvind Kejriwal, chief of the Aam Aadmi Party, and five family members under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls currently underway in the city.
The SIR process is a standard administrative procedure undertaken by election authorities to verify and update voter registrations, cross-check entries against government databases, and identify discrepancies in electoral rolls. The notices requiring response from Kejriwal's household are part of this routine exercise.
Full details regarding the specific nature of the notices and the timeline for response were not immediately available. The SIR initiative in Delhi has affected multiple households across the capital as part of the commission's efforts to maintain electoral roll accuracy ahead of upcoming polling processes.
Kejriwal, who served as Delhi's Chief Minister until recently, leads the Aam Aadmi Party, which has significantly shaped political contests in the National Capital Region. The notice to his family represents one instance among numerous households receiving similar communications during the current electoral verification cycle.
