The Election Commission is set to initiate a special and intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar in preparation for the upcoming assembly elections. This decision was announced today, emphasizing the aim to ensure that all eligible citizens are included in the electoral roll, thus promoting transparency in the electoral process. The need for this thorough revision arises from various factors, including rapid urbanization, frequent migration, an increasing number of young citizens becoming eligible to vote, the non-reporting of deaths, and the inclusion of foreign illegal immigrants on electoral rolls.
During this revision process, booth-level officers will conduct house-to-house surveys to verify the information. The Election Commission is also calling for the active participation of all political parties by requiring them to appoint Booth Level Agents at each polling booth. This collaborative effort aims to enhance the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that each eligible voter has the opportunity to participate in the elections.
