Bihar electoral roll revision: Over 74% voters have submitted enumeration forms, says EC
The Election Commission on Friday announced that 74.39% out of the 7,89,69,844 electors in Bihar have submitted their enumeration forms as part of the ongoing special intensive revision of the state's electoral rolls. The poll panel said that 5,87,49,463 enumeration forms have been collected till 6 pm on Friday. Of these, booth-level officers have successfully digitised and uploaded 3.73 crore forms on the commission's ECINET mobile application, it added. In the second phase of the revision process, booth-level officers are going from house to house to help voters and collect their filled enumeration forms, the Election Commission said, adding that over 4 lakh volunteers were providing support to senior citizens, persons with disabilities, those living with diseases and vulnerable groups. The Election Commission has set July 25 as the last date to submit enumeration forms. 3 out of every 4 #Bihar electors have submitted their Enumeration Forms ✅ 74.39 % Enumeration Forms Collected #SIR Read in detail : — Election Commission of India (@ECISVEEP) July 11, 2025 The Election Commission's statement came a day after the Supreme Court urged it to consider Aadhaar cards, voter ID cards and ration cards as valid documents for the revision of electoral rolls. The court will hear the case further on July 28. The revision of the electoral rolls in Bihar was announced by the Election Commission on June 24. As part of the exercise, persons whose names were not on the 2003 voter list will need to submit proof of eligibility to vote. This means that 2.9 crore out of the state's 7.8 crore voters – or about 37% of the electors – will have to submit documentary evidence. Voters born before July 1, 1987, must show proof of their date and place of birth, while those born between July 1, 1987, and December 2, 2004, must also submit documents establishing the date and place of birth of one of their parents. Those born after December 2, 2004, will need proof of date of birth for themselves and both parents. If the officers are satisfied with the details provided, the voters will be re-enrolled to a new voter list by electoral registration officers. If not, they will be removed from the voter lists. A draft roll will be published on August 1 and the final roll will be out on September 30. On July 2, eleven INDIA bloc parties told the Election Commission that the special intensive revision of Bihar's electoral rolls risked disenfranchising more than 2.5 crore voters, as they may not be able to produce the necessary documents. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on July 6 defended the exercise, claiming that the exercise had to be carried out as no one was satisfied with the current voter rolls.

CEC issues clarification amid Bihar voter list row: ‘All eligible voters will be included'
Amid a row over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Thursday said the exercise will ensure that all eligible people are included in the voters' list. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar said the implementation of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar is running as per schedule. (@ECISVEEP) He also said the revision being undertaken after a gap of 22 years is running as per schedule with the active participation of all political parties. The CEC came out in defence of the intensive revision as several opposition parties claimed that the ongoing exercise would deprive many people of their constitutional right to vote. Addressing a group of booth-level officers here, Kumar said the implementation of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar is running as per schedule with the active participation of all election staff and all political parties in a transparent manner. "Despite apprehensions of some persons, SIR will ensure that all eligible people are included," the CEC said. On Wednesday, leaders of several INDIA bloc parties met the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision and raised concerns over its timing, alleging that over two crore voters of Bihar may be disenfranchised by this mammoth exercise being done just ahead of assembly elections. The EC will carry out an intensive review of electoral rolls this year in six states, beginning with Bihar, to weed out foreign illegal migrants by checking their place of birth. Bihar is going to the polls later this year, while the assembly polls in five states -- Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal -- are scheduled in 2026. The move, which would be later expanded to other states, assumes significance in the wake of a crackdown in various states on illegal foreign migrants, including from Bangladesh and Myanmar.
