In the ongoing SIR in Bihar, efforts have been intensified to ensure that all eligible electors are included in the draft electoral roll to be published on August 1, 2025. The entire election machinery, including nearly 1 lakh BLOs, 4 lakh volunteers and 1.5 lakh BLAs appointed by the District Presidents of all the 12 major political parties in Bihar are working together to search those electors who are yet to submit their Enumeration Forms (EFs) or have not been found at their addresses.

2.   CEO/DEOs/EROs/BLOs have held meetings with the representatives of all political parties and have shared detailed lists of the 21.36 lakh electors whose Forms have not been received so far and also of the nearly 52.30 lakh electors who are reportedly deceased or permanently shifted or have enrolled at multiple places.

3.   As per the SIR order dated 24.06.2025, from August 1 to September 1, 2025, a full one-month will be available to any member of the public to file objections for any additions, deletions and rectification in Draft Electoral Rolls.
