Delhi SIR: 94% of 33 lakh voters issued notices for discrepancies cleared for final electoral roll

What happened: The Delhi Election Commission said 31.2 lakh of the 33.1 lakh voters who received notices during the special intensive revision were cleared for inclusion in the final electoral roll. Key numbers: 31.2 lakh cleared, over 94% of 33.1 lakh notices. Notices went to about one-third of the 97.5 lakh voters in the draft roll. Why it matters: The Supreme Court took note on September 22 of concerns that notices on the doubtful list lacked sufficient reasons, and said voters needed clarity when served notices for logical discrepancies.
