Supreme Court of India’s September 1 Order on Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) Exercise

• The Supreme Court of India’s order on Bihar’s SIR exercise offers a lifeline to voters wrongfully excluded from the draft electoral rolls.

• The Election Commission of India (ECI) has confirmed that claims and objections can continue to be filed even after the deadline.

• The ECI confirms that applications submitted after September 1 will be considered after the finalisation of the electoral roll.

• The ECI’s numbers raise questions about transparency and fairness in the exercise.

• The ECI claims that parties failed to assist excluded voters, while parties claim they did raise claims but were not properly processed by Block Level Officers.

• The Court has directed the Bihar State Legal Services Authority to use para-legal volunteers to assist voters and political parties.

• The next steps should include recognizing Aadhaar as a valid standalone document to prevent unfair exclusions among the 99.5% of those in the draft roll who have already submitted documentation.

• The Bihar SIR experience offers lessons for future electoral roll revisions, emphasizing thorough door-to-door verification and prioritizing voter rights over administrative convenience.

Bihar Special Intensive Revision is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
