“The Legislative Assembly of NCT of Delhi having its sitting in Delhi on 27 November 2018: Taking into consideration the fact that lakhs of names have been deleted from the voter list in Delhi. There have been instances where person staying at the same address or in the same locality has been deleted from the voter list without any due procedure. The officers of Chief Electoral Office (CEO), GNCT of Delhi have suo-moto deleted thousands of voters in each Assembly Constituency of Delhi without following the prescribed procedure or due process of law. The names have been deleted to favour a Political Party which has Government at the Center. Several attempts have been made by Elected Members of the Legislative Assembly, NCT of Delhi to approach CEO, Delhi but however, no prompt corrective action has been taken to add the voters who have been illegally deleted from the voters list. This House resolves that this is a serious matter and directs the CEO, Delhi to put the complete list of voters that have been deleted after February, 2015 Delhi Assembly Election on its website. A physical copy and a digital copy of list of all such deleted voters should be provided to all recognized Political Parties of Delhi. The House further resolves that the CEO should also immediately conduct a door to door survey along with representatives from all recognized Political Parties in order to ascertain the veracity of all deleted voters. This process should be videographed by the Office of CEO, Delhi. Those voters who were found genuine and have been wrongfully deleted should be immediately restored without the need of filing any fresh forms or any further verifications and without the need of issuance of fresh voter cards. This exercise should be completed in such a time that genuine voters are restored in the concerned voter lists before Lok Sabha Election, 2019. The House also resolves that the Delhi Government should conduct inquiries into all deleted voters who are subsequently found genuine and fix the responsibility of the erring officials and submit a report before this House within a period of three months.”
