What is Voter Enumeration of Bihar 2025?
Bihar Voter Enumeration 2025 is a special enumeration drive by ECI to revise the electoral roll in Bihar. This is the aim of being able to guarantee that all interested citizens who vote during the 2025 elections have their way. It is particularly necessary to conduct this campaign when new voters who have reached the voting age (18) or those who have moved or whose information in the voter list is incorrect. It entails completion of an enumeration form where all the voters are required to confirm their details. To simplify it, the ECI came up with a pre-printed enumeration form, and in Bihar, more than 7.8 crore voters are anticipated.
What Is So Great About Voter Enumeration?
A fair election is pegged on an accurate voter list. You might not be able to vote in case you do not have the right to vote because your name is not registered with the right details or it is not there. Through this campaign, it is ensured that:
New voters that had turned 18 as of January 1, 2025, may register.
Residents that have changed their address to another constituency get to update the address.
Mistakes in names, addresses, or other information can be corrected.
Duplicates, ineligible voters, and others are dropped off the list.
This will aid in keeping this as transparent as possible and make sure that there is no eligible voter that is left out of the democratic process. This comes at a time when Bihar Assembly elections are round the corner, and this will further help in the fortification of the electoral system.
Who Should Take Part?
The enumeration process will be applied to everyone who has a voting right in Bihar, yet it is of the utmost importance to:
- New Voters: Individuals who became 18 up to January 1, 2025, and have the desire to be able to vote.
Migrants: Individuals that have changed to a different region and should change their voter information.
Voters with Errors: They are voters whose voter ID contains false details such as name, address, or date of birth.
Voters that added their name on the list after 2003: You might be requested to show evidence that you are a citizen by using things like passports, birth certificates, or other valid papers in case you added your name to the voter list after January 1, 2003.
Required Documents
You will require documents depending on your circumstances. That is a basic rundown:
- Voters born prior to January 1, 1987: Evidence of birthplace and date of birth (e.g., Aadhaar card, 10th mark sheet, birth certificate).
- To voters born between January 1st, 1987, and January 2nd, 2004: Evidence of place and date of birth.
To voters who have registered after January 1, 2003: A further document of citizenship, like a passport, a birth certificate, or the names of the parents in the March 2003 electoral roll.
- In case of the change of address: Proof of new address, such as
Electric bills,
Ration cards,
Bank statements, in order to confirm it.
These are documents that one must always prepare before filling in the enumeration form, as failure to do so might cause time wastage.
