Delhi’s draft Special/Service Voter Integrated Requirement (SIR) voter roll is reported to be missing around 47.7 lakh names, with claims that these entries may not appear in the draft list released for scrutiny. Sources report that objections and claims are expected to open around Aug 31, ahead of the preparation of the final SIR voter list.
The Times of India and India Today both highlight a large discrepancy in the draft SIR roll size, suggesting a potential gap between the expected number of voter entries and what is included in the draft. The outlets describe the issue as one that affects a substantial number of Delhi voters and emphasize that a formal claims-and-objections window will allow affected individuals to seek corrections or inclusion before the final list is published.
While both reports agree on the scale of the alleged missing names and the timeline for claims, they differ in the exact figure cited—47.6 lakh versus 47.7 lakh—reflecting reporting variations rather than clearly stated factual differences. Neither report, based on the provided text, specifies the underlying administrative reason for the gap or the precise publication schedule beyond the start of the claim period.
