The Commission added that with just six more days still to go for filling up of the Enumeration Forms, the Commission is making all possible efforts to ensure that the remaining nearly 32 lakh electors are added to the draft Electoral Roll.

A concerted effort by the entire electoral machinery, along with yet another round of visits by the BLOs, has also been started to establish contact with the remaining electors. The Poll Body added that over 7 crore 15 lakh enumeration forms have been collected in Bihar so far under SIR initiative. The ECI aims to include the eligible elector in the electoral roll.
