The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s office announced that Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha submitted Form 6 on August 26 seeking inclusion in the electoral roll of Assembly Constituency 39 (Rajinder Nagar). The application was processed by the Electoral Registration Officer and cleared on September 2 following the standard seven‑day notice requirement stipulated by the Election Commission.
The filing, recorded under application number U05039D6N2608261200000, was approved after the prescribed notice period elapsed. Chadha’s name entered the roll as the 747th entry, extending the draft roll that listed 746 voters. The AAP has contested the addition, alleging that the entry was made “through the back door” and noting that no Form 6 for Rajinder Nagar was publicly listed between September 1 and 7.
Chadha, who left the AAP for the BJP in April, had previously been removed from the draft Special Intensive Revision (SIR) roll in Punjab, where he had been registered since at least 2024. The CEO’s statement referenced the Election Commission’s May 14 guidelines, which allow new entries during the SIR period to receive serial numbers sequentially after the last draft entry. The dispute highlights ongoing political sensitivities around voter‑roll updates and the demand for greater transparency in the registration process.
