<h1>Election Commission Begins Draft Electoral Rolls Publication After Special Intensive Revision</h1> The Election Commission will publish draft electoral rolls following a special intensive revision (SIR) in Bihar, initiating a claims and objections period until September 1. This process allows voters to address wrongful deletions, additions, or corrections. The SIR aimed to update the voter list, removing deceased, migrated, or duplicate entries, but faced criticism and legal challenges alleging potential mass exclusion to favor the ruling coalition. The Supreme Court emphasized that the revision must ensure inclusion, not exclusion, and mandated acceptance of Aadhaar as identity proof. The Election Commission assured voters that grievances could be raised during the objection period, while opposition parties expressed concerns over possible manipulation during this phase by election officials aligned with the ruling party.
