Bihar SIR: The Election Commission clarified that while the second phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar ended on September 1, the voters can add their names to the voter list until 10 days before nomination. The poll body further stated that the voters will also be able to make changes regarding the address or other details during the same period of time. It further asserted that a voter will be eligible to cast a vote even without receiving the voter ID card, adding that they can exercise their right to vote by showing any of the 12 identity cards after seeing the booth number on the voter service portal.
While providing details, the Electoral Registration Officer stated that the process of adding, deleting, or modifying names in the voter list continues throughout the year. He further stated that while the campaign to take claims and objections has ended, the voters can still add their names to the list.
