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.
A day after the Supreme Court's order, the Commission told the CEO Bihar that Aadhaar must be accepted as the 12th document alongside the 11 listed, as proof of identity but not of citizenship. It warned that refusal to accept Aadhaar would be treated with the utmost seriousness. Authorities could still verify an Aadhaar card's genuineness.
The standalone copy is listed on eci.gov.in (document id 18256) but returned 'Access denied' when fetched, so it is not cited; the full text was read from Annexure II of the 27.10.2025 order. The letter names the Aadhaar Act as '2026'; the Act is of 2016. The Commission did not add Aadhaar before the court's direction, despite the court's suggestion of 10.07.2025.
