The Election Commission on Sunday asserted that Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar was “being implemented smoothly at the ground level” and “there is no change in instructions”.
The EC on June 24 issued instructions to carry out an SIR in Bihar, apparently to weed out ineligible names and ensure only eligible citizens are included in the electoral roll.
In a statement here, the EC made it clear that while voters were required to “submit their documents anytime before July 25, 2025”, those who failed to do so would get an opportunity “during the Claims & Objections period also”.
The EC also urged people to “beware of statements being made by a few persons, who without reading the SIR order dated 24 June 2025…. are attempting to confuse the public with their incorrect and misleading statements”.
