The Election Commission of India on Friday highlighted the success of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision process in Bihar, saying 7.23 crore electors in the state have expressed full faith in the process by actively participating in it.
“Forms of 7.23 crore electors have been received and digitized, with the names of all these electors to be included in the Draft Electoral Roll,” the ECI said in its daily press update.

It said the digitization of forms, along with BLO reports, of the remaining electors will be completed by August 1, while the lists of electors who have not filled forms, deceased, or permanently migrated have been shared with 12 political parties to rectify errors in the Draft Electoral Roll.

Approximately 22 lakh deceased electors have been reported, while around 7 lakh electors have been registered in more than one location. Approximately 35 lakh electors have either permanently migrated or could not be traced.
The ECI has appreciated the efforts of the CEO of Bihar, DEOs, EROs, AEROs, BLOs, volunteers, and political parties in successfully completing the first phase of the SIR process.
From August 1 to September 1, any elector or political party can fill prescribed forms and submit claims to the ERO (electoral registration officer) for any eligible elector who is left out or file objections for removal of any ineligible elector, the poll panel added.
