**Supreme Court Hears Case Against Bihar Electoral Roll Revision as Nationwide Rollout Looms**
**New Delhi – September 8, 2025** – The Supreme Court is currently hearing a case challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the election-bound state of Bihar. The case centers around concerns regarding voter deletions and irregularities in the process.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has assured the court that it will continue to accept revision forms even after the September 1st deadline and integrate them into the final voter list. However, the ECI is also preparing for a potential nationwide rollout of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
To assess readiness, the ECI will hold a conference of Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) from all States and Union Territories on September 10th. The meeting aims to take stock of preparations for the potential nationwide implementation of the electoral roll revision program. Data collected by The Hindu reveals details of the Bihar exercise, including the number of voters deleted in various districts and unusual patterns found within the deleted voter lists. This information is key to understanding the complexities of the situation as the Supreme Court deliberates and the ECI contemplates national expansion.
