India’s opposition parties protest against a controversial electoral roll revision

BIHAR, INDIA, AUG 11 – Opposition parties claim the voter roll revision in Bihar risks disenfranchising nearly 30 million voters, mainly minorities and poor citizens, ahead of November elections, officials said.

  • On August 11, India's opposition parties protested in New Delhi against a controversial electoral roll revision in Bihar ahead of November elections.
  • The revision involves nearly 80 million voters requiring strict documents like birth certificates and passports, which critics say are hard to obtain in Bihar.
  • The Election Commission called the revision a routine update to ensure accuracy and prevent foreign illegal immigrants, denying claims of voter exclusion.
  • About 49.6 million voters from a 2003 exercise need not submit additional documents, and over 10,000 claims for name inclusion have been received so far.
  • The revision raises concerns about disenfranchisement of vulnerable groups, especially minorities, with opposition warnings that history may repeat Assam's 2019 citizenship list issues.
