Overview

• Election Commission told the court it has posted booth‑wise lists of about 65 lakh omitted electors with reasons on all 38 district websites and displayed physical copies statewide.
• Excluded voters may now file claims online or offline using Aadhaar or any one of 11 accepted documents, with booth‑level agents to receive acknowledgements for physical submissions.
• The court expressed surprise that political parties’ 1.6 lakh booth agents had filed only two objections and directed recognised parties to be impleaded and to submit facilitation status reports by September 8.
• The justices declined to alter the Special Intensive Revision schedule, keeping the claims window open until September 1 while allowing the poll body to consider limited extensions if responses surge.
• ECI reported around 85,000 excluded individuals have already filed claims and over two lakh new voters have applied, after a revision that provisionally reduced Bihar’s rolls to about 7.24 crore.
