Bihar SIR: Key Findings of Enumeration Phase (24 June-25 July 2025)

New Delhi.

Asal Baat news.  

* BLO did not find these electors or did not get back their Enumeration Forms because they:

• Became electors in other States/UTs, or 
• Were not found in existence, or

• Did not submit the form till 25 July, or

• Were not willing to register as an elector for some reason or other

             (Para iv of Enumeration Form at Page 17 of SIR order refers).

 

Exact status of these electors will be known after scrutiny of these forms by ERO/AERO by 1st August 2025. However, genuine electors can still be added back in electoral rolls during the Claims and Objection period from 1st August to 1st September 2025.

 

** The name of the Electors found enrolled at multiple places in Electoral Rolls will be 

retained only at one place.

1. First Aim of SIR: Participation of all Electors and all Political Parties

 

1. Out of 7.89 crore electors as on 24.06.2025, over 7.24 crore electors have submitted their Enumeration Forms indicating overwhelming participation.

2. Second Aim of SIR: No Eligible Elector in Bihar should be left Behind

1. SMSs, explaining the SIR process, were sent to 5.7 crore registered mobile numbers of all those electors who had registered their mobile numbers. During the enumeration period, CEO/DEOs/EROs conducted numerous campaigns for spreading awareness amongst electors about SIR.
2. CEO/DEOs/EROs also conducted several meetings with political parties to explain SIR and the process, and to keep them apprised of the progress of SIR. For the same purpose, BLOs also held booth level meetings with Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by the Political parties. BLAs were also allowed to file upto 50 Enumeration Forms per day, to ensure their full involvement.

10. Tenth Aim of SIR: No deletion from Draft Electoral Rolls without a speaking order:

 

1. As per Para 5(b) of SIR guidelines, NO NAME CAN BE DELETED from the draft list published on 1st August without notice and speaking order of the ERO/AERO.

2. Any elector aggrieved by any decision of the ERO may appeal to the District Magistrate and the Chief Electoral Officer thereafter under Section 24 of the RP Act, 1950.
3. Volunteers are also being trained in helping people to file appeals against any decision of ERO.
4. A standard format for filing appeals is also being devised and will be widely circulated to allow people to file appeals easily.
