Bihar Polls: No Party Challenges Voter List, 941 Individual Claims Filed
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has reported that no political party in Bihar has formally requested changes to the draft voter list, published earlier this year. However, a significant number of individual claims and objections have been received.
A total of 941 claims and objections regarding the draft voter list have been submitted by individual voters across the state. These include requests for inclusion of names, corrections, and removals.
The deadline for all such claims and objections, from both political parties and individual voters, is September 1, 2025. This period allows for thorough scrutiny and necessary amendments before finalization of the electoral rolls.
Opposition parties have voiced concerns over the ECI’s process, alleging potential loopholes and irregularities. The ECI, however, maintains its commitment to ensuring that no eligible voter is disenfranchised.
The upcoming Bihar Assembly elections are crucial for the political landscape of the state. The smooth and transparent finalization of the voter list is paramount for ensuring free and fair elections. Any discrepancies or challenges arising after September 1st could significantly impact the electoral process and public confidence.
