BIHAR SIR 2025 – DAILY BULLETIN: August 1 (3 PM) to August 31 (10 AM)
The recent electoral revision process in Bihar has sparked significant activity among political parties, as they submit claims and objections regarding the draft electoral roll. The process, which began on June 24, 2025, aims to ensure that the electoral rolls are accurate and inclusive. Political parties have been actively participating, with various claims and objections being filed in response to the draft list published on August 1, 2025. This initiative is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process in the state.
Political Engagement in the Revision Process
The electoral revision process has seen robust participation from recognized political parties in Bihar. The draft electoral roll, which was shared with 12 political parties, has prompted them to file numerous claims and objections. The Aam Aadmi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, and Bharatiya Janata Party are among the key players actively engaging in this process. For instance, the Aam Aadmi Party submitted one claim, while the Bahujan Samaj Party filed 74 claims. The Bharatiya Janata Party, however, stands out with a staggering 53,338 claims, indicating its significant involvement in the electoral process.
The claims and objections are essential for ensuring that eligible voters are included in the electoral rolls while ineligible voters are excluded. The process allows political parties to represent the interests of their constituents and ensure that the electoral list reflects the true demographic of the state. The electoral officers are tasked with reviewing these claims and objections, which must be disposed of within seven days after submission.
Claims and Objections Overview
The claims and objections submitted by political parties cover a wide range of issues related to the draft electoral roll. The process allows for the inclusion of eligible voters and the exclusion of those who do not meet the criteria. Political parties can file claims using Form 6, while objections can be raised using Form 7. This structured approach ensures that the electoral roll is both comprehensive and accurate.
As of now, a total of 160,813 claims have been received, with a significant number of them pertaining to the inclusion of eligible voters. The electoral officers are responsible for verifying these claims and objections, ensuring that each submission is legitimate and backed by the necessary documentation. The process is designed to uphold the integrity of the electoral system, allowing for a fair and transparent election.
Public Participation and Transparency
Public participation is a vital aspect of the electoral revision process. Citizens are encouraged to check their names on the draft electoral roll and can file claims if they find discrepancies. The electoral officers have made provisions for aggrieved individuals to submit their claims along with a copy of their Aadhaar card before the deadline of September 1, 2025. This initiative aims to empower voters and ensure that everyone eligible to vote has the opportunity to do so.
The electoral authorities have also emphasized the importance of transparency in this process. The names not included in the draft electoral roll, along with the reasons for their exclusion, will be displayed on the websites of district electoral officers. This allows citizens to understand the basis for their exclusion and take appropriate action if necessary. The commitment to transparency is crucial for building public trust in the electoral process.
