Order to put a new picture in the document

When the counting forms were given to the voters, they were asked to submit the documents filled with their latest picture. The new picture will be used to update the records and release new voter ID cards.

According to Bihar’s draft voter list published on August 1, there are 7.24 crore voters in the state. The final voter list will be published on 30 September and the assembly elections in the state are likely to be held in November. The term of the current assembly ends on 22 November and a new house will have to be formed before that.

99 percent documents from those who fill the calculation form

According to the Election Commission, 99 percent of those who have filled the calculation form have submitted their documents. About 30,000 people have filed a petition to join the voter list, as their names were missing from the draft list.

Apart from this, Bihar has become the first state, where the number of voters per polling station has been reduced from 1500 to maximum 1200 under the rationalization process to keep the congestion low at polling stations on polling stations. Due to rationalization, the number of polling stations in the state has increased from 77,000 to 90,000. The rationalization process will finally be implemented across India. In the last Lok Sabha election, there were 10.5 lakh polling stations in the country.

Bihar Voter List: In the midst of the ongoing voter list verification process in Bihar, the names of 35 lakh voters can be cut, this information has come out from the Election Commission sources. However, this information is not true, because they also include the names of all such voters, which were not found at their address during BLO examination.

Of these, about 12.55 lakh such voters who have died, about 17.37 lakh voters who have shifted outside Bihar, are about 5.76 lakh voters, who have got voter ID cards at two places.

Exercise to save from fake voting

According to Election Commission sources, it is not to cut the vote, but to save (about 35 lakh) from fake voting. If someone casts votes using these voter ID cards, then it will come in the category of fake voting. In such a situation, even if action is taken against these 35 lakh voters in the coming time, then it is not because he is not a citizen of the country.

Information about cut names will also be done

According to the Election Commission, the voter of B.L.O. If they have not met at their address even after three tours, they may have died or have permanently shifted or are nominated in more than one place. Soon about 35 lakh such voters will also be shared with the district presidents of political parties with the district presidents/1.5 lakh booth level agents appointed by them so that the correct situation of such voters can be confirmed before July 25 (last date to fill the form).

In a way, the discussion of cutting the names of 35 lakh people whose names are going on, will hand over the responsibility of gathering information to BLA on behalf of the political party. Later, the opposition parties could not raise the question that the name of a voter was incorrectly cut off.

Aadhaar just an identity

Election Commission sources have again made it clear that Aadhaar is just an identity card, it does not determine the citizenship of the country. Because of this, Aadhaar is being taken with the form, but on the basis of that the name cannot come in the voter list. The matter of the voter ID card is being filled, the number of voter ID card and the identity of the voter have also been given on it, so that no one person can fill the form of one person.

The Election Commission has been continuously saying from the beginning of this process that this entire process is being done under Article 326 of the Constitution, in which it is clearly stated that the voter of the country can be the person who is a citizen of the country. In such a situation, according to the constitution, no person can be put in the voter list, who is not a citizen of the country.
