The number of voters in Bihar has dropped by 65 lakh, according to Bihar’s draft electoral roll, which was published by the Election Commission on Friday after the completion of the first phase of its Special Intensive Revision exercise.
More than 7.24 crore electors in the State filled up enumeration forms and have been included in the draft roll, the ECI said in a statement. There were 7.89 crore voters registered in the 2025 electoral list before the SIR exercise. The ECI has said that most of these 65 lakh “missing” voters have died, registered in two locations, permanently migrated out of Bihar, or are untraceable.
