The Election Commission’s newly released draft electoral roll for Bihar shows a sharp decline of 65 lakh voters compared to the previous list. After the first phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), Bihar now has 7.24 crore registered voters, down from 7.89 crore in 2025. According to EC officials, the reduction is due to the removal of names belonging to deceased individuals, those registered in multiple places, people who migrated permanently, or those found untraceable. Opposition leaders under the INDIA bloc questioned the transparency of the process, claiming the EC has not adequately addressed concerns about the deletions.
