News Topical, Digital Desk : Assembly elections are going to be held in Bihar this year and preparations for it are going on in full swing. The Election Commission is also ready for this and is running a special intensive revision campaign, about which there is controversy. Meanwhile, according to the Election Commission, the counting forms of a total of 7.24 crore voters (91.69% of the population) of Bihar have been received and out of this, 2.83% i.e. about 22 lakh voters have been found dead.

At the same time, the names of 0.89% or 7 lakh people were found to be duplicate, which were registered at more than one place. The Election Commission said on Sunday (27 July 2025) that the first phase has ended.

why are you making a ruckus

According to the commission, enumeration forms of 1.2 lakh voters have not been received yet. The commission said, "When a whole month from August 1 to September 1 is available to find out any wrong inclusion or wrong exclusion of any name, then why are they creating so much ruckus now? Why did they (political parties) not ask their 1.6 lakh BLAs to submit claims and objections from August 1 to September 1?"

Regarding the uproar, the Commission said, "Why are some people trying to create the impression that the draft list is the final list, when it is not so. As per the SIR orders?" Regarding those who were not found at their addresses, the Election Commission said, "These people have either become voters in other states or union territories or were present there."
