A significant progress has been made in the Special Summary Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, the Election Commission of India (ECI) claimed in a press note on Monday, while further pointing out that “as of now, 6,60,67,208 Enumeration Forms have been collected from electors, accounting for 83.66 per cent of the state’s total 7,89,69,844 electors.”

Asserting that over 5.74 crore enumeration forms have been uploaded on the ECINet platform, the poll panel said 1.59 per cent electors have been found deceased, 2.2 per cent permanently shifted, and 0.73 per cent enrolled at multiple places, accounting for 88.18 per cent of electors who have either submitted their EFs or are no longer eligible.

It said 11.82 per cent electors are yet to submit their filled EFs, with many seeking time to submit their forms with documents.

As regards door-to-door visits, nearly 1 lakh booth level officers (BLOs) will begin their third round of visits to collect EFs from remaining electors.

Special camps are being set up in all 5,683 wards of 261 urban local bodies (ULBs) to ensure no eligible urban voter is left out, while electors can fill EFs online using the ECINet App or through the online form on the unavailable link.

While the last date for the submission of filled EFs is July 25, the draft electoral roll is scheduled to be published on August 1.
