The Election Commission (EC) has published the draft electoral rolls for Bihar, following the completion of the month-long Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise ahead of the upcoming assembly polls.
According to report by PTI, No compiled list was made available, but voters can check their names on the EC’s website.
There were 7.93 crore registered voters in the state before the SIR began in June, according to the EC.
It is yet to be known how many voters are in the just-published draft rolls.
Printouts of the rolls will be made available to representatives of various political parties later in the day, officials said.
The publication of the draft rolls kicked off the process of ‘claims and objections’, which would continue till September 1. During this period, voters with complaints of wrongful deletion of names can approach the authorities concerned, seeking a remedy.
Assembly elections would be due in the state later this year.
In the first stage of SIR, voters were provided with ‘enumeration forms’, either by booth-level officers (BLO) or booth-level agents (BLA) nominated by political parties, which they were to return after putting their signatures and appending documents acceptable as proof of identity.
