The Election Commission on Tuesday published its final electoral roll in Bihar, containing details of 74.2 million voters, a drop of more than 4.7 million since June, when the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was launched.

The number of voters in the final roll is, however, higher than in the draft roll (72.4 million), which came out in August after names of 6.5 million electors were knocked off as they were found to be "absent", "shifted" or "dead".
