Bihar Assembly Elections: ECI mulls intensive house-to-house verification, here's why

  • India's central electoral authority is planning to conduct thorough door-to-door verification to update the voter lists ahead of the Bihar legislative assembly elections expected in October-November 2025.
  • The verification plan arises amid persistent concerns from political parties and civil society about inclusion and deletion errors in the electoral rolls, with the last such rigorous exercise conducted in 2004.
  • Electoral roll updates involve adding young voters turning 18, removing deceased and illegal foreign nationals, correcting details, and rationalising polling stations to limit voters to 1200 per station.
  • In 2024 alone, approximately 3.15 crore changes occurred, including 46.26 lakh changes of address, 2.32 crore corrections, and 33.16 lakh replacement requests, highlighting the scale of voter list modifications.
  • The ECI emphasises that the roll revision is conducted transparently under political scrutiny to ensure only genuine and eligible voters are listed, though allegations of arbitrary inflation and data fudging have been denied by the Commission.
