New Delhi, Aug. 18 -- The list of names deleted from Bihar's draft electoral rolls following special intensive revision (SIR) has been posted on the websites of state's chief electoral officer (CEO) as well as district magistrates in the poll-bound state. The links on the websites redirect users to Election Commission of India's voters' service portal (voters.eci.gov.in), where names can be searched either by EPIC number or by selecting an assembly constituency booth. It comes after the Supreme Court on August 14 directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to publish details of 6.5 million deleted names from the draft voters list with reasons of non-inclusion to enhance transparency in the process. The bench of justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi has set August 19 as the deadline for uploading the lists and asked Election Commission of India to file a compliance report before the next hearing on August 22. A message displayed in Hindi on the portal reads: "List of voters whose names were in the Bihar Voter List till 2025 but are not included in the Draft Roll as of 01.08.2025." Another note states: "The BLO with the help of booth level agents appointed by political parties, other village level public representatives and other officials has prepared the following list of voters whose counting forms have not been received. The dissatisfied persons can submit their claim with a copy of their Aadhaar card." Once downloaded, the machine-readable and searchable PDFs provide the following fields (in Hindi): serial number, EPIC number, name of voter, relation type, name of relative, old part number, old serial number, age, gender, and reason for non-inclusion (as on 01.08.2025). By Sunday evening, websites of all district magistrates in Bihar had uploaded the lists. The top court in its interim order last week had said that publication of the detailed lists is necessary to ensure transparency and allow citizens to seek corrections. It also directed Election Commission of India to accept Aadhaar card as a valid identity document for claims and objections, and to widely publicise the deletions through newspapers, television and social media. So far, no advertisements related to the publication of the deletions list has been issued by Election Commission of India....
