Bihar Election 2025: The Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday published the final voters list for the poll-bound Bihar after conducting the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR). While names of several voters were removed in the revision process, thousands of new names have been added in the list, most of them are set to cast their votes for the first time. Nawada, one of the most politically relevant districts, has witnessed a major change in the voter list after the revision process. The voter list suggests that a total of 95,959 voters have been removed following the SIR exercise and at least 30,491 new voters have been added in the list.
The fresh change in the voter list in Nawada indicates that out of the total 17.16 lakh voters, 3.64 lakh are GenZ voters between 18 and 30 years old. Most of the GenZ voters are likely to cast vote for the first time and are set to play a vital role in the politics of the region. While providing details, District Election Officer Ravi Prakash stated that names of at least 1.26 lakh voters were removed in the first draft of August 1.
Bihar voter list: GenZ to play key role in Nawada
The final voter list suggests that the youth of Nawada are going to play a key role in the upcoming election. The youth is heavily influenced by the new media and is usually vocal on multiple issues, including corruption, law and order, and education. The youth is also likely to not consider traditional factors such as caste and religion as very significant factor while voting.
A massive controversy sparked during the SIR after the opposition parties accused the Election Commission of removing the voters of marginalised groups; however, the poll body clarified that there was nothing unconstitutional about the revision process.
