Election officials in Delhi are visiting households to correct discrepancies in the Summary of Issues Report (SIR) ahead of the upcoming polls.
Delhi election officials have begun a door‑to‑door campaign to identify and rectify inconsistencies in the Summary of Issues Report (SIR) that lists voter‑related problems. The visits are being carried out across residential areas as part of the preparation for the forthcoming assembly elections.
The SIR is a critical document used by the Election Commission to address grievances such as missing names, address errors, and duplicate entries in the electoral roll. By correcting these discrepancies on the ground, officials aim to ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot without technical hindrances.
Officials have indicated that the verification drive will continue over the next few weeks, focusing on neighborhoods where the highest number of mismatches were reported. The initiative is expected to improve the accuracy of the voter list and reduce the likelihood of disputes on election day.
