His 25-year-old son Pulkit Kejriwal has also received a notice under the same category.The five members of the Kejriwal family are among 110 people who have been served notices in the specific part segment of Assembly Constituency 40, which covers the New Delhi constituency. The notices are part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 exercise being conducted by the Delhi Election Commission. Under the “Unmapped with Last SIR” category, electors whose details could not be matched with records from the previous SIR are required to undergo verification as part of the electoral roll revision process.The notices to Arvind Kejriwal and his family come amid a wider exercise in Delhi that has drawn political attention. Kejriwal, who served as Delhi chief minister three times, is the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party. On August 31, Kejriwal had questioned the SIR exercise after the draft electoral roll excluded the names of more than 47 lakh voters. In a post on X, he said that of around 1.5 crore voters in Delhi, 47 lakh names were missing from the draft roll.Taking a swipe at the Centre, Kejriwal said the government need not be concerned about population growth because the SIR exercise could reduce the country’s population from 140 crore to 50 crore.DELHI SIR PROCESS SAW GREAT PARTICIPATIONThe SIR exercise in Delhi involved door-to-door verification of electors. Enumeration forms for around 67.18 per cent of Delhi’s electors were received and digitised during the exercise, which began on June 30 and concluded on August 17.The extent of digitisation varied across the capital’s 70 Assembly constituencies. Rohini recorded the highest rate at 83.43 per cent, while Tughlakabad recorded the lowest at 52.15 per cent.Voters whose enumeration forms were not received during the exercise can still seek inclusion in the electoral roll. They can submit claims using Form 6 along with the required supporting documents until September 30.The Delhi Election Commission is continuing the electoral roll revision process, with the notices issued under the “Unmapped with Last SIR” category forming part of the verification exercise.- EndsPublished By: Ritaban MisraPublished On: Sep 19, 2026 18:34 IST
