“The Election Commission is repeatedly stating that no eligible elector is to be left out and no ineligible elector is to be included in the final electoral roll of Bihar. Submit your claims and objections to rectify any errors in the draft roll of Bihar,” a functionary said.After nine days too, not even a single claim or objection has been submitted by any political party, the functionary pointed out.The draft list is part of the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of the voter list of Bihar by the EC, which is facing protests from the opposition parties as they claim the exercise will deny many eligible citizens their voting rights for want of documents.Seeking debate on the issue, the opposition protests have been leading to stalling of both Houses of Parliament since the Monsoon session began on July 21.The EC has asserted that no eligible citizen will be left out of the electoral rolls. The final electoral roll will be published on September 30.
