Electoral Roll Modernization Across 38 Districts:
Prior to the 2025 Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) executed the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls throughout all 38 districts of Bihar.

Following the exercise, Bihar's certified electorate totaled 74,526,858 electors (approx. 7.45 crore).
Operational Verification & Digital Monitoring:
- Booth Level Officer (BLO) Network: Over 100,000 BLOs utilized the upgraded ECI-Net platform to execute door-to-door physical verifications, purging duplicate entries and enrolling newly eligible youth.
- Zero Statutory Appeals: Following public display and claims-and-objections proceedings, zero statutory appeals were pending against the published roll, establishing its legal finality.
- VVPAT Slip Matching: In compliance with statutory verification norms, 5 randomly selected polling stations per Assembly Constituency underwent mandatory physical paper slip matching. Across all 243 constituencies, exactly 1,215 polling stations were matched with 100% mechanical consistency against EVMs.
