ECI Says No Claim Received By Any Political Parties, 28370 Electors Submitted Individual Objections
Election Commission of India on Friday said that no objections or claims have been received from any political parties regarding the revised draft electoral rolls since August 1, when it was published. However, 28370 electors have filed individual claims till now and 857 have been disposed of after seven days of submission.
Releasing its daily bulletin, the poll body said that from August 1 to August 13, over 1,60,813 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) across national and state parties have not filed any objections or claims to the draft roll prepared after the enumeration forms were collected as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
As per the bulletin, the Bharatiya Janata Party has the most BLAs (53,338), followed by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (47,506) and the Janata Dal United (36,550).
The poll body said over 17,665 electors have submitted their claims or objections within the same period, with over 341 objections being disposed of after seven days. The ECI has also received 1,03,703 Form 6, which pertains to the registration of new electors after they are 18 years of age.
The Bihar SIR has been repeatedly criticised by the Opposition parties, calling the revision unconstitutional and alleging that voter list manipulation might happen to favour a particular political party.
The Opposition has been demanding a discussion on Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision in the Parliament during the Monsoon session.
The INDIA block recently took out a protest march against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls in Bihar. Several opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mahua Moitra, and Derek O’Brien, were detained.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said on Aug 12, “We are protecting the Constitution. ‘One Man-One Vote’ is the foundation of the Constitution. It is the responsibility of the Election Commission to implement ‘One Man-One Vote’, but they have not done their job. We are protecting the Constitution and will continue to do so consistently.”
Recently, the Supreme Court has ordered the Election Commission to publish a searchable list of the 65 lakh voters who were left out from the draft roll published on August 1.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi ordered that “The list of approximately 65 lakh voters, whose names appeared in the voter list as on 2025 but are not included in the draft roll dated August 1, 2025, shall be displayed on the websites of the district election officers (District-wise).”
