Bihar Electoral Rolls: Over 52,000 Claims Filed By Voters, None From Political Parties: ECI
Delhi/Hyderabad, Aug 19 (Maxim News): With 13 days still left for filing claims and objections, the Bihar Chief Electoral Officer’s office has received 52,275 applications directly from individual voters regarding inclusion or exclusion of names in the state’s draft electoral rolls, the Election Commission of India (ECI) said on Tuesday. Adding that no political party has filed any complaint so far.
According to the poll panel, so far, 1,765 applications have been disposed of by the Electoral Registration Officers (EROs). As per the rules, claims and objections are decided seven days after the verification of supporting documents is completed. Notably, the Commission emphasized that not a single political party has submitted a complaint or objection, despite the draft rolls being published on August 1 and 19 days having passed.
The ECI stated that since August 1, as many as 173,016 new electors – who turned 18 after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise – have submitted forms for inclusion in the voter list. While the draft rolls were published on August 1, the Commission has provided a one-month window for individuals, parties, and their 1.6 lakh booth-level agents (BLAs) to raise objections or submit corrections. Of these, the RJD has 47,506 BLAs, the Congress 17,549, and Left parties over 2,000, together accounting for more than 67,000.
BJP counters Congress allegations on voter rolls, says Rahul Gandhi peddling lies. The Commission said it has been regularly urging political parties to participate actively in the revision exercise and report any cases of disenfranchisement. Submit your claims and objections to rectify any errors in the draft electoral roll of Bihar published on August 1. So far, not even a single claim or objection has been submitted by any political party,” the EC said in a statement. (Maxim News)
