Bihar SIR: The second phase of the special intensive revision (SIR) campaign for the voter list concluded on September 1, which was the last date for submitting claims or objections. However, if you were unable to apply for inclusion of your name in the voter list, make corrections in your name or address, or request removal of a name, there is still an opportunity available.

According to the Election Commission of India, voters can continue applying for any of these services up to 10 days before the date of nomination for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, which is expected to be held in October or November this year. This will allow the eligible citizens to apply for inclusion or correction of their voter details before the elections.
