Bihar Roll Revision Nears Deadline as EC Flags 3 Lakh Cases for Verification, Reports 1.95 Lakh Voter Claims

Supreme Court oversight has forced wider document acceptance to protect eligible voters.

Overview

  • With four days left in the claims window, the Election Commission reports 1,95,802 applications from individual electors and just 82 formal objections from party agents, including 79 from CPI(ML) and three from the RJD.
  • Electoral Registration Officers have begun issuing seven‑day notices to roughly 3 lakh electors over document discrepancies, with any deletion requiring a hearing and a speaking order.
  • Officials say 24,991 individual cases have been disposed of so far, as the September 1 deadline approaches for filing claims and objections on the August 1 draft roll.
  • About 8,51,788 newly eligible voters have submitted Form‑6 for inclusion, with 37,050 applications processed after the mandatory notice period.
  • The commission has posted omitted names with reasons on district and CEO portals, and per court directions is accepting Aadhaar or any of 11 specified IDs for inclusion requests, even as parties dispute whether their booth agents’ complaints were duly recorded.
