Election authorities in Delhi have issued a formal notice to 125-year-old Shyam Mukhija, who is recognized as the city's oldest voter. The notice concerns a discrepancy identified in the electoral roll for the Sadar Bazar assembly constituency, specifically citing a "self name mismatch."

While the Election Commission of India frequently conducts routine verification of voter rolls to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud, the age of the voter involved has drawn public attention. Mukhija, who is over a century old, is now required to address the administrative error to maintain his status on the voter list. The notice serves as a standard procedural step for voters whose identification details do not perfectly align with the documentation on file. It remains unclear how the error originated or what specific documentation Mukhija must provide to rectify the mismatch. Election officials have not yet provided a public comment on whether they are offering special assistance to elderly voters facing such administrative hurdles during this verification cycle.
