As the dates for Bihar assembly elections approach, voters are urged to double check their names in the voter list and ensure that they have their voter cards.
After the election commission of India issued the special intensive revision (SIR) in Bihar ahead of its assembly polls, the voter lists of the state have undergone changes. Eligible voters can check their names, verify details, and download digital voter ID cards online from the official ECI website.
The final electoral roll after conduction of SIR, which includes all registered voters in Bihar as of July 1, 2025, is available on the website, where voters can download both, the draft and the final SIR rolls and check whether their names are on it.
Digital E-EPIC voter ID cards are also available for voters to download. The state election commission has asked voters to check details early to avoid last-minute issues.
Bihar assembly elections are scheduled to be conducted in two phases, on November 6 and November 11. Counting of votes will be done and results will be announced on November 14.
