<h1>Supreme Court orders publication of excluded voters list with reasons under electoral rules by August 19</h1> The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to publish by August 19 the details of 65 lakh voters excluded from the draft electoral rolls in Bihar's Special Intensive Revision, including reasons for their exclusion, to ensure transparency. The court allowed Aadhaar as an acceptable identity document for voters to stake claims for inclusion, rejecting the EC's earlier stance excluding Aadhaar. The list must be displayed at local offices and widely publicized through media, with searchable soft copies uploaded online. The court emphasized the need for a fair, accessible process for voters to verify their status and challenge exclusions, highlighting the civil consequences of disenfranchisement. The ruling responded to petitions challenging the EC's revision process and aims to build voter confidence by making the revision exercise transparent and accountable ahead of Bihar elections.
