Neta·ResumeSpecial Intensive Revision, Phase I. 4 figures on record from Jun 2025 to Sep 2025.
A draft roll is not the final roll — names still return through claims and appeals.
The draft roll is published after enumeration. Names left off it can come back through claims and objections, and new electors are added, before the final roll is published. So the share left off the draft is usually larger than the net change from the pre-SIR roll to the final roll. Where a final roll isn't in the record yet, only the draft measure can be shown.
Figures run to Sep 2026. Several final rolls were still pending then.
Phase 1 pilot SIR, qualifying date 1 July 2025. Final figure of 7,41,92,357 excludes 1,63,619 service voters (total incl. service voters: 7,43,55,976, same entry). ECI's PN of 13 Nov 2025 (ECI/PN/353/2025) reportedly claimed zero appeals and a final count of 7,45,26,858, per numbers-bihar-final-roll-2025-09-30's notes; that press note returned 'Access denied' on the date checked and has no Wayback copy, so those two figures are unverified and are not used as the stage value here.
left_off: ECI's outcome table rounds this to the nearest lakh; the draft-roll figure it also reports rounds separately, so the two do not subtract to exactly this count.
| Stage | Electors | As of | Source | Tier | Flags |
|---|
| Before the SIR | 7,89,69,844 | 2025-06-24 | Bihar roll stood at 7,89,69,844 electors when SIR began | TIER 1 · PRIMARY | — |
| Draft roll | 7,24,00,000 | 2025-08-01 | Bihar draft roll published with 7.24 crore electors; 65 lakh left out | TIER 1 · PRIMARY | rounded |
| Final roll | 7,41,92,357 | 2025-09-30 | Bihar final roll: about 7.42 crore electors, 47 lakh fewer than June | TIER 1 · PRIMARY | — |
Every bar starts at zero. Differences are simple subtraction of the cited figures. A computed stage's method is in its note.
ECI published Bihar's draft roll on 1 August 2025 with over 7.24 crore electors, covering 90,712 polling booths in 243 constituencies. ECI's later outcome table records 65 lakh electors from the 24 June roll as not carried into the draft. The claims and objections window ran to 1 September 2025.
The 1 August press note gives the draft figure only as 'more than 7.24 crore' and does not state the number left out; the 65 lakh figure comes from ECI's 30 September outcome table, which rounds to the nearest lakh. ECI's 1 September bulletin says the list of names not included, with reasons, was displayed district-wise and on the CEO Bihar website in EPIC-searchable form.
