Bihar Polls: 7.93 Crore Voters Scrutinized, Draft Rolls Out
The Bihar Election Commission (EC) released the draft electoral rolls on August 1, 2025, following a special revision exercise. The rolls, available for public scrutiny on the EC website, list a total of 7.93 crore voters.
Citizens can verify their names and report any discrepancies. The commission will accept claims and objections regarding incorrect inclusions or omissions until September 1, 2025.
This crucial step comes ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections scheduled later this year. The accuracy of these rolls will directly impact the upcoming electoral process.
The timely release and subsequent verification period are critical to ensure a free, fair, and transparent election. Any eligible voter excluded from the final rolls risks losing their right to participate in the democratic process.
