Congress MLA from Baroda Induraj Singh Narwal has urged the Haryana Chief Electoral Officer to extend the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that the 2002 voter lists of nearly 38 villages in his constituency are unavailable on the Election Commission’s online portal.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Electoral Officer, Narwal said the SIR campaign was being conducted from June 15 to July 14, during which the 2002 electoral rolls were being matched with the 2024 voter lists. However, he claimed that for around 38 villages falling under the Mundlana and Kathura blocks of Sonepat district, the online portal displayed only the 1999 voter list instead of the 2002 rolls.

The MLA said the absence of the 2002 electoral rolls had hampered the verification of eligible voters and affected the ongoing revision process. He warned that if the voter lists were not made available at the earliest, the verification exercise might not be completed before the July 14 deadline, potentially depriving several eligible voters of their franchise.

Narwal has requested the Election Commission and the state election authorities to immediately upload the 2002 voter lists for the affected villages and extend the duration of the SIR campaign in those areas to ensure that no eligible voter is denied the constitutional right to vote.
