The Election Commission of India on Thursday (July 17, 2025) said that it has begun sharing information on voters who have permanently shifted their residence, are deceased or have enrolled at multiple places with ground-level workers and district presidents of all political parties in Bihar so that the exact status of such voters can be confirmed before July 25, which is the last date of filling the enumeration forms in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
So far, out of the 7,89,69,844 voters, 4.5% have not been found at their addresses, 1.59% are deceased, 0.73% are enrolled at multiple places and 2.2% have been found to have permanently shifted, the poll body said in a statement.
Only 5.8% of voters are yet to submit their enumeration forms, the poll body said. As on Thursday (July 17, 2025), 7,08,18,162 or 89.7% of the existing electorate have given their enumeration forms to be included in the draft electoral roll to be published on August 1.
The poll body has said that people who have temporarily migrated from Bihar can fill the enumeration forms in the online mode through the ECINet app or through voters.eci.gov.in. They may also download the pre-filled enumeration form, sign it and share it with booth-level officers (BLOs) directly or through family via WhatsApp or any other medium.
The Election Commission said it is sharing the information with political parties in order to make sure that voters are not left out of the rolls.
Special camps are also being set up in all the 5,683 wards of all 261 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) of Bihar.
