A new voter list has been released after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) run by the Election Commission in Bihar. Large scale changes have been made in this revision. According to the official data released by the Election Commission, the names of about 69 lakh voters have been removed, while 21 lakh new voters have been added to the list.
After this, the total number of voters in the state has increased to about 7 crore 42 lakhs, which is about 18 lakh more than the draft list. According to the information given by the Commission, 65 lakh names were first removed from the draft list during this revision, which lasted from 24 June 2025 to 30 September 2025.
Focus on adding new voters
Apart from this, after 1 August, about 4 lakh more names were removed, due to which the total number reached 68.66 lakhs. Most of these were those who either moved permanently, were not in the list due to death or whose information could not be fully verified. The Commission has placed them in the category of ineligible voters.
At the same time, special attention was also paid to adding new voters during this process. In the claims and objections received by the Commission, about 37 thousand people had filled the form, most of which were included in the final list. In total, 21.53 lakh new voters have now become part of Bihar’s voter list. These new voters also include young voters who voted for the first time.
You can register objections regarding voter list
The Election Commission has made it clear that this entire exercise was done under Article 326 of the Constitution and this principle of the Commission. He said that no eligible voter should be missed and no ineligible voter should be included. If a eligible voter still wants to add his name, then he can apply till 10 days before the enrollment process starts.
At the same time, those who object to the decision of the Commission, they can file the first appeal with the District Magistrate and another appeal to the CEO. After the arrival of the new voter list, the ongoing politics about it is not stopping. The opposition is still raising many questions about this voter list.
Hearing in Supreme Court
