The names of over 24 lakh people may be removed from Rajasthan’s voter list under the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise which began on November 4 and will end on December 4.
Under the directions of the Election Commission, the names of voters and their family members are being matched with the voter lists prepared in the last SIR exercise conducted in 2002. Voters whose names do not match the 2002 SIR list may be removed from the current electoral rolls.
Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Naveen Mahajan said that after digitisation, the department is matching each voter’s record with the 2002 SIR rolls to see whether the names of their parents are recorded in that earlier list.
Voters whose names cannot be mapped to the old roll will be issued notices after the draft roll is published on December 9. They will have to submit specified documents to prove their eligibility, failing which their names will be deleted.
