A few weeks before the Bihar assembly elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday released the final revised voter list following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The updated electoral roll, which will form the basis for the upcoming polls, has also been uploaded on the Commission’s official website.
During the enumeration phase of the SIR conducted from June 24 to July 25, over 7.24 crore of Bihar’s 7.89 crore electors submitted their details. However, the draft rolls indicated around 65 lakh voters missing.
According to ECI data, these include 22 lakh deceased voters (2.83 per cent), 36 lakh (4.59 per cent) who had permanently shifted or were untraceable, and seven lakh (0.89 per cent) found enrolled at multiple locations.
According to reports, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Bihar will provide physical copies of the electoral roll to all District Election Officers-cum-District Magistrates. The final roll will also be shared with all recognised national and state-level political parties.
Earlier, on August 1, the draft electoral roll was published under the SIR campaign, listing the names of over 7.24 crore voters who had submitted their enumeration forms.
