Bihar Electoral Roll Revision Nears Completion
Bihar is updating its voter list to make sure it's accurate before the election.
Almost all voters have been checked.
A lot of people were found to be wrongly included in the list because they are dead, moved away, or registered multiple times.
Also, some voters couldn't be found.
This update aims to prevent fake votes and ensure a fair election.
The new list will be ready soon.
