Bihar Draft Voter List to Be Released at 3 PM; Opposition Seeks Parliament Discussion

ECI shares electoral rolls for all 243 Bihar constituencies; Opposition questions timing and seeks clarity in letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla

ЁЯПЫя╕П Opposition Raises Red Flag Over Voter List Revision Timing

In a politically charged development, the Election Commission of India (ECI) today released the draft electoral rolls for Bihar, covering all 243 assembly constituencies. The move immediately drew sharp criticism from the Opposition, who have written a joint letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, demanding a special discussion in Parliament on the timing and transparency of the revision process.

ЁЯУМ Key Details from the Election Commission:

  • Total constituencies covered: 243
  • Polling stations included: 90,817
  • Electoral rolls released via: All 38 district collectors
  • Public access: Draft rolls available on ECIтАЩs website starting 3:00 PM today
  • Recipients: All recognised political parties in Bihar

ЁЯУг Opposition’s Concern: What TheyтАЩre Saying

The joint Opposition letter raises concerns about:

  • The timing of the draft roll release
  • The transparency and intent of the revision process
  • A demand for a Parliamentary discussion to ensure electoral fairness ahead of future elections in Bihar

The timing of the releaseтАФduring an active Parliament sessionтАФhas especially drawn attention, with Opposition leaders calling it “unusual and politically questionable.”

ЁЯЧВя╕П Why This Matters

  • Bihar is a politically sensitive and electorally significant state
  • The voter list forms the foundation of free and fair elections
  • Any questions regarding its integrity could impact public trust and election outcomes

ЁЯФЬ WhatтАЩs Next?

  • The Election Commission has stated that further updates and corrections will follow the draft stage
  • Political parties and citizens can file objections or corrections through the official ECI channels
  • The issue is likely to become a flashpoint in the ongoing Parliament session

ЁЯХТ Note: This is a developing story. Updates will follow as more details emerge from the Election Commission and Parliament.
