The Supreme Court will hear petitions on September 8 challenging the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s electoral rolls. The move has triggered political and legal disputes before the 2025 Assembly elections.
Bihar Special Revision of Electoral Rolls (SIR) case reached the Supreme Court, where the Election Commission clarified that “claims and objections will be accepted even after the September 30 deadline,” ensuring voters get sufficient opportunity to participate.
Bihar Voter List Revision is progressing smoothly as the Election Commission of India reports, “Documents of Over 99% Electors Received.” The September 1 deadline marks the final submission for those who filled enumeration forms during the SIR process.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced a major initiative to address the decades-old issue of duplicate Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC) numbers. This move aims to enhance the integrity and accuracy of the electoral rolls across the country. The Commission has assured that the resolution will be implemented within the next three months through a structured process involving District Election Officers (DEOs), Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), and active participation from political parties and the public.
