As the final phase of the electoral roll revision process has achieved a remarkable milestone in its ongoing enumeration drive. Out of a total of 7.89 crore electors as of June 24, more than 6.99 crore have already submitted their enumeration forms, marking a robust 88.65% response rate.
According to the official data released on Wednesday, 6,99,92,926 electors out of the total 7,89,69,844 have submitted their forms, accounting for 88.65 per cent coverage. Of these, 6,47,24,300 forms-nearly 82 per cent-have already been uploaded into the electoral system.
The Enumeration process, which serves as the foundation for revising electoral rolls, has also brought to light discrepancies that are now under review. Nearly 4.5 per cent of electors-35,69,435 individuals-were not found at their listed addresses despite three visits by Booth Level Officers (BLOs). Among these, officials have categorised approximately 12.5 lakh as probably deceased, over 17.3 lakh as likely to have permanently shifted, and nearly 5.7 lakh electors have been identified as enrolled in more than one location.
With 54,07,483 forms still pending-about 6.85 per cent of the total electorate- the Commission is urging all remaining electors to complete the process before the July 25 deadline. Citizens can check their enumeration status online through the ECINet App or the voter services portal at voters.eci.gov.in.
In a bid to ensure transparency and accuracy, the Commission will begin sharing data on unverified electors with district-level presidents of political parties and the 1.5 lakh Booth Level Agents appointed by them. This step is intended to verify the current status of individuals listed as absent, deceased, or duplicated in the electoral roll.
To reach every eligible voter, special camps have been organised across all 5,683 wards of Bihar’s 261 urban local bodies. The initiative also accounts for those temporarily residing outside the state, allowing them to submit their forms digitally via the ECINet App or the official website. Alternatively, they may share completed forms with BLOs through family members or messaging platforms such as WhatsApp.
