This India Today ground report from Araria in Bihar’s Simanchal region investigates a brewing political storm over the 2025 voter list revisions. Villagers are distressed as they navigate a complex process where the living find their names excluded while the deceased remain on the list. The report documents cases like that of Chandrakala Devi, whose husband, who passed away in 2019, is still listed as a voter while her eligible son is not. For many, it has become a "battle for existence." A resident, Ganga Paswan, stated, "We are poor people. We are from here. We are not from another country." Despite an August 27 deadline for objections, citizens are caught in a maze of bureaucratic confusion, being sent between officials and online portals they are unable to use, highlighting critical flaws in the system. #biharsurvey #biharelection2025 #indiatoday #voterlist #araria #elections #biharnews #voterid #simanchal #indiatoday #groundreport #politics #democracy #voterrights #biharpolitics #electoralrolls #exclusion
