Controversy Over Intensive Revision of Bihar's Electoral Roll: CPI(ML) Liberation Speaks Out

  • On June 28, the Election Commission of India launched a special intensive revision of Bihar's electoral rolls, requiring nearly 2.93 crore voters to submit proof before year-end assembly elections.
  • The Election Commission of India cited rapid urbanisation, migration, fresh voters, non-reported deaths, and illegal immigrants as reasons prompting SIR with a one-month deadline, contrasting the two-year 2003 revision.
  • The Election Commission states that out of 7.89 crore Bihar voters, 4.96 crore need only submit a new form, while 2.93 crore must provide birth and parental documents.
  • Opposition parties, including the INDIA bloc, condemn the ECI's Bihar voter revision as undemocratic, vowing to oppose and challenge the process, with Pawan Khera calling it a political tool for BJP.
  • The Election Commission of India plans to extend the same voter list revision method nationwide, positioning Bihar as a potential flashpoint in upcoming elections.
