Slew of pleas in SC against Bihar voter list revision

July 07, 2025

The controversy over special intensive revision of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar intensified as Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, RJD's Manoj Jha and several NGOs moved the Supreme Court seeking quashing of the Election Commission's order, which they claimed violated the Constitution.

- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

The Election Commission (EC) issued a statement on Sunday clarifying that it has not changed its instructions on the revision process, after several social media posts, including one by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, cited an advertisement by the election body published in newspapers to suggest that showing documents is not necessary.

The Congress and other INDIA bloc parties have been opposing the provision whereby voters whose names were included in the electoral roll after 2003 are required to submit documents related to birth.

"Why are people who have been voting in election after election being asked to show their documents for voting ?" Kharge said in a post on X.
