The draft electoral rolls for poll-bound Bihar were published on Friday after the month-long Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by the Election Commission, which will now invite “claims and objections” by voters until 1 September.

No state-wide compiled list was made available, but voters can check their names on the EC’s website.

There were 7.93 crore registered voters in the state before the SIR began in June, according to the EC. It is yet to be known how many voters are in the just-published draft rolls.

District magistrates of Supaul, Nawada, Lakhisarai, Darbhanga, Seohar, Jamui and Gayaji handed over the draft rolls of their respective districts to the representatives of political parties, officials said.

The publication of the draft rolls kicked off the process of “claims and objections”. Until 1 September, voters with complaints of wrongful deletion of names can approach the authorities concerned, seeking a remedy. Assembly elections would be due in the state later this year.

In the first stage of SIR, voters were provided with “enumeration forms”, either by booth-level officers (BLO) or booth-level agents (BLA) nominated by political parties, which they were to return after putting their signatures and appending documents acceptable as proof of identity.
