The Election Commission filed a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court in connection with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in poll-bound Bihar, assuring that nobody’s name will be deleted from the draft electoral roll without prior notice and a formal order.
The ECI was responding to an application by the Association for Democratic Reforms, seeking a court directive for the poll body to furnish individual details of the roughly 65 lakh names deleted from the draft electoral roll, published on August 1 under the SIR exercise.
“As a matter of policy and in strict adherence to the principles of natural justice, no deletion of any elector’s name from the draft electoral roll, published on 1st August 2025, shall be undertaken without issuance of a prior notice to the concerned elector indicating the proposed deletion and the grounds thereof, affording a reasonable opportunity of being heard and furnishing relevant documents, and passing of a reasoned and speaking order by the competent authority,” the poll body said in its affidavit.
