Bihar: Contact voters individually to complete forms under SIR
NEW DELHI: With collection of enumeration forms (EFs) under the special intensive revision (SIR) in Bihar already covering 91 per cent of its electorate after accounting for the deceased, permanently shifted and people enrolled at more than one place, Election Commission has asked booth level officers to individually contact the remaining electors to assist them to turn in their EFs well in time.
Meanwhile, electors who handed over their filled-up enumeration forms to the booth level officers directly or through booth level agents appointed by political parties, can, starting Tuesday night, check the status of their forms on ECINeT or EC's voters portal. "The purpose of the new module is to ensure full transparency and a direct interface between the elector and EC; it will allow any elector to enter his EPIC no.
and view for himself if his enumeration form has been accepted by the BLO," a senior EC official told TOI. All electors who submit their forms by July 25 will be included in Bihar's draft electoral roll to be published on Aug 1, 2025.
A SIR update shared by EC on Tuesday said EFs have been collected from 86.3 per cent of Bihar's 7.9 crore electorate, with 10 more days to go for the deadline. Over 6.2 crore forms have been uploaded on ECINet.

Sparing no effort to ensure that all eligible electors are included in the draft electoral roll, the third round of household visits by the nearly 1 lakh BLOs will soon begin to collect EFs of Bihar's remaining 9.2 per cent electorate. This will cover households where the electors were temporarily absent during the previous visits.
Special camps have been established in all the 5,683 wards of 261 urban local bodies of Bihar and newspaper advertisements issued to ensure that the remaining electors fill their EFs well in time. Such electors are also being encouraged by the BLOs to fill up their forms online using the ECINet app on their mobile phones or through the online form on https://voters.eci.gov.in.
Through ECINet, electors can fill out their EFs online and search for their names in the 2003 electoral roll. The electors can also connect with their election officials, including their BLOs, using the ECINet app.
