Bihar Polls: 65 Lakh Voters Face Purge, Draft Roll Out August 1
The Election Commission of India (ECI) will publish Bihar’s draft electoral roll on August 1, 2025. This crucial step initiates a month-long process for claims and objections.
Political parties will receive copies of the draft roll and have until August 31, 2025 to raise concerns regarding additions, deletions, or corrections.
The ECI anticipates removing approximately 65 lakh names from the electoral rolls. This significant number is likely to generate considerable debate.
The Commission has already held consultations with various political parties to gather feedback and ensure a smooth process. This proactive engagement aims to address potential issues early.
This development holds significant implications for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. The final electoral roll will determine the electorate’s composition and influence the political landscape of the state. The upcoming month will be crucial in determining the final voter list and ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process.
