Overview

  • Almost 90% of Bihar’s roughly 7.9 crore electors have returned enumeration forms, leaving 5.8% yet to submit ahead of the July 25 deadline.
  • The drive has flagged 12.55 lakh voters as probably deceased, 17.37 lakh as shifted and 5.76 lakh for duplicate enrolment.
  • To confirm these cases, the ECI shared the data with district presidents and 1.5 lakh party-appointed Booth Level Agents for re-verification.
  • The ECI and Patna district administration debunked a viral video alleging BLOs were improperly filling forms, finding no evidence of misconduct.
  • Special camps in urban wards and online submission options are in place for temporary migrants, with the draft roll due on August 1 and the final list on September 30.
