Bihar Electoral Roll Revision Faces Scrutiny from JD(U) MP
Imagine the government is checking who can vote in Bihar.
It's like making sure everyone on the list is real and lives there.
Some people are worried the check is happening too fast and could leave some voters off the list, especially those who moved away.
One MP from Bihar is speaking up against the way things are being done.
The government says they are almost done checking everyone.
They found some people who have passed away, moved, or were listed twice.
If your name is missing or there's a mistake, you can tell the government before a new list is made.
JD(U) MP Giridhari Yadav opposes the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Yadav believes the SIR process is too hasty and could deny voting rights to migrants.
The Election Commission (EC) stated that 98.01% of Bihar electors have been covered under SIR.
The EC has identified deceased electors, migrants, duplicate entries, and untraceable electors.
The Draft Electoral Roll will be published on August 1, and objections can be filed until September 1.
