Bihar Polls: 3.5 Million Voters Under Scrutiny
The Bihar Election Commission has initiated a massive verification drive, scrutinising the status of approximately 3.5 million voters flagged as potentially deceased, shifted, or possessing multiple entries. This crucial exercise aims to cleanse the electoral rolls and ensure a fair and transparent election process.
The Commission has shared the relevant data with all recognised political parties and booth-level agents. They have been given until July 25th to verify the information provided and submit their findings. This collaborative approach is intended to enhance the accuracy and integrity of the electoral rolls.
Draft electoral rolls will be published on August 1st, allowing for further public scrutiny and objections. The final electoral rolls, incorporating all revisions and corrections, will be published on September 30, 2025.
This extensive verification process underscores the Election Commission’s commitment to maintaining the sanctity of the electoral process in Bihar. The timely completion of this exercise will be vital for ensuring free and fair elections, a cornerstone of India’s democracy. The upcoming elections will be pivotal for the state, and the integrity of the voter list is paramount for a credible mandate.
