Election Commission sees high voter participation in Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision exercise

The Election Commission of India on Thursday reported a significant turnout in the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar, with 66.16 percent of enumeration forms collected so far.

This achievement is attributed to the active participation of Bihar electors and the tireless efforts of election officials and volunteers, the poll panel said in a press note.

“Active participation of Bihar electors in the Special Intensive Revision and tireless efforts of 77,895 BLOs along with the 20,603 newly appointed BLOs and other election officials, over 4 lakh volunteers who are supporting the elderly, PWD, sick and vulnerable populations along with the 1.56-lakh proactive force of Booth Level Agents who have been appointed by all recognised political parties, has resulted in the collection of 66.16 percent Enumeration Forms,” the poll panel said. It further informed that the electors still have 15 more days left to submit the form.

“Maintaining the same momentum on the field, the exercise of collecting the Enumeration Forms could be completed well before the stipulated date i.e. July 25, 2025,” the EC stated.

The SIR exercise, which began on June 24, aims to update the electoral rolls and ensure the accuracy of voter information. With 15 days still left to submit the forms, the Election Commission expects a high voter turnout and a successful completion of the exercise.
