Bihar's Electoral Roll Revision: A Collaborative Effort

Bihar's electoral roll is undergoing a Special Intensive Revision (SIR), prompting a significant push from the state's poll machinery. In a crucial phase, the Election Commission has engaged with representatives from all political parties to share detailed lists of 29.62 lakh electors whose forms have yet to be submitted.

The commission has also highlighted the challenge of nearly 43.93 lakh electors who were not located at their registered addresses. To tackle this, major political parties have been requested to mobilize efforts, involving their district presidents and around 1.5 lakh booth-level agents, to ensure no eligible elector is overlooked.

With the draft electoral rolls set for publication on August 1, citizens will have the opportunity to file objections or request rectifications. The Election Commission emphasizes collaborative action to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
