Bihar SIR 2025 Final Voter List: The Election Commission has released the final electoral roll, based on which the 2025 Bihar assembly elections will be conducted. The Bihar SIR (Special Intensive Revision) draft list was published earlier in August.

The draft list had names of 7.24 crore voters who had participated in the voter verification process and submitted their documents.

The final voter list has been uploaded on the ECI’s website.

65 lakh names deleted in draft

The Bihar SIR exercise has been under intense scrutiny by the Opposition for the deletion of 65 lakh names of people who had passed away, moved out, or whose names had been listed as duplicate entries.

The physical copies of the electoral rolls will be sent to District Election Officers and District Magistrates. These rolls will also be sent to all recognised political parties,  the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar has said.

To be included in the new electoral roll, as many as 16.59 lakh voters submitted Form-6 during the claims and objections process under the voter verification exercise.

The Patna District magistrate issued a statement on X, saying that the total number of electors in Patna is now 48,15,294, “which is 1,63,600 more than the total number of electors, 46,51,694, included in the draft list published on August 1, 2025”.
