The Election Commission of India has eliminated approximately 6.85 million names from the electoral roll in Bihar. The final electoral list, published on Tuesday, indicates a total of 74.2 million registered voters—a decrease of 6% from the 78.9 million reported on June 24.
This update follows a three-month Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, which has been met with significant criticism. Many observers describe it as a citizenship verification initiative and have raised concerns regarding its potentially discriminatory implications.
Further details are expected to follow as the situation develops. The original publication can be found on Maktoob Media.
