New Delhi, July 17 (NationPress) The Election Commission of India announced on Thursday that 89.7% of the current electors in Bihar have successfully submitted their Enumeration Form for inclusion in the upcoming draft Electoral Roll, set to be released on August 1, 2025.
To re-verify the electors who were not located at their addresses after three attempts by Booth Level Officers, the details of these individuals—who may be deceased, relocated permanently, or registered at multiple locations—are being provided to District Presidents of political parties along with 1.5 lakh Booth Level Agents.
This information aims to ascertain the true status of these electors and to confirm their details before the final date of July 25, which is the deadline for submitting forms under the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll.
As of July 17 at 6 p.m., out of a total of 7.89 crore voters, the Election Commission of India had received 7.08 crore enumeration forms. The ECI noted, “Only 5.8% of electors are yet to complete their forms with 8 days remaining.”
Special camps are being established across all 5,683 wards in all 261 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in Bihar for this purpose.
An ECI official mentioned, “Individuals who have temporarily migrated outside Bihar can also complete the Enumeration Form online using their mobile phones via the ECINet App or through voters.eci.gov.in.”
They can also download the pre-filled Enumeration Form and either submit it to Booth Level Officers directly or share it through family members using WhatsApp or other communication methods, according to the ECI official.
The ECI has reported that approximately 35.60 lakh or 4.5% of the 7.89 crore voters in the state have not been located at their registered addresses. Among these, 12.55 lakh voters are presumed deceased, while 17.37 lakh are likely to have permanently moved from their registered electoral addresses.
Point of View
I believe that the proactive measures taken by the Election Commission of India to ensure accurate voter registration in Bihar reflect their commitment to transparent and fair elections. Engaging with the electorate through various means, including online submissions, signifies a progressive approach to electoral participation.
