The Election Commission on Tuesday announced that 86.32 percent of enumeration forms have been collected so far in Bihar as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

With 10 days remaining to submit the forms, the Commission said it is making concerted efforts to ensure that all eligible electors are included in the draft electoral roll.

“Sparing no effort to ensure that all eligible electors are included,” the poll panel said in a press note, adding that nearly 1 lakh Booth Level Officers will soon begin a third round of household visits to collect the filled enumeration forms of the remaining electors.

“Only 9.16% electors remain to submit their filled enumeration forms before the July 25 deadline,” the Commission noted, emphasising the need for eligible voters to participate in the process.

The Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar aims to update the electoral rolls and ensure that all eligible citizens are registered to vote.

The Commission has set up special camps in all 5,683 wards of 261 Urban Local Bodies and encouraged electors to fill their forms online using the ECINet App or the online form.

Electors can fill out their enumeration forms online and search for their names in the 2023 electoral roll using the ECINet App or the online form.

BLOs are being supported by 1.5 lakh Booth Level Agents appointed by political parties, each of whom can certify and submit up to 50 enumeration forms per day.

Special camps are also being set up in all urban local bodies to ensure that no eligible voter is left out.
