The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear petitions on July 10 challenging the Election Commission’s special summary revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, which has ignited controversy and legal disputes just three months before the elections. Opposition parties, including RJD led by Tejashwi Yadav, claim the process is rushed and could disenfranchise voters, alleging ‘vote bandi.’ The BJP counters these claims, accusing the opposition of spreading misinformation. The Election Commission clarified that the first phase of revision is complete without changes to existing rules. Voters must submit documents by July 25, with draft rolls to be issued on August 1. The controversy focuses on documentation requirements for proving citizenship, differing from the standard Form 6 used for new voter registration. Key issues include the short timeframe for grievance redressal and concerns about excluding legitimate voters. The Supreme Court’s decision on the legality and procedural aspects of the revision is eagerly anticipated as the Bihar polls approach.
