Names should not be removed without proper verification, the CEO said.
The process is part of a broader roll revision.

Errors in electoral roll revisions can affect a voter’s ability to cast a ballot if not corrected before elections.
Voters can typically check their status on the electoral roll through the Election Commission’s online portal or at local offices.

The process typically involves door-to-door verification, publication of a draft roll, and a claims-and-objections window before the roll is finalised.
Delhi has multiple assembly constituencies, each maintained separately for the purposes of the electoral roll.
Concerns over the accuracy of roll revisions have previously been raised by political parties across the spectrum in different states.
The Election Commission of India oversees the overall framework for such revisions, while state-level Chief Electoral Officers manage implementation.
