Ahead of the assembly elections, the Chief Electoral Officer in Bihar announced on social media, tagging the Election Commission of India.
“In the light of Special Intensive Revision, the final electoral roll has been published on 30.09. 2025. People can look up their names by clicking on the link voters.eci.gov.in,” said the social media post.
The CEO did not mention details of the final electoral roll in the state.
The revision process, initiated in July, aimed to remove foreign and illegal entries from the electoral rolls.
The exercise was conducted with the assistance of over 77,000 Booth Level Officers (BLOs), nearly 3,000 assistant officers, and more than 1.6 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) representing all major political parties.
However, the exercise has faced criticism from opposition parties. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that irregularities were occurring during the revision process.
The EC, meanwhile, rejected any allegations of bias, emphasising that it treats all parties equally and that the exercise is non-partisan.
The matter is also under the scrutiny of the Supreme Court, which is hearing a petition challenging the SIR. The court has noted that if any illegality is detected in the methodology followed by the EC during the revision, the entire exercise could be invalidated.
