ECI: Bihar Voter List Revision Reaches 99% Coverage
The Election Commission is checking the voter lists in Bihar.
They've checked almost everyone's information already.
They've also told political parties about people who have died, moved away, or are registered twice.
People can speak up if their name is missing or if something is wrong with the list.
The new voter list will be ready on August 1, 2025, and everyone can see it.
Some politicians are arguing about this process.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that 99% of electors in Bihar have been covered under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
Booth-level lists of deceased electors, those who have permanently migrated, and those registered in multiple places have been shared with political parties.
Electors and political parties can file claims or objections regarding missing names or incorrect inclusions until September 1, 2025.
The Draft Electoral Roll will be published on August 1, 2025, and provided to all 12 political parties.
Parliamentary proceedings were adjourned amid protests over the SIR.
