EC makes public names of 65 lakh people deleted from Bihar voter list during SIR

Patna, Aug 18: The Election Commission (EC) on Monday came out with the names of 65 lakh people who were removed from the draft electoral rolls published as part of the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise, officials said.

The development came in the backdrop of the Supreme Court’s direction that details of the deleted names be made public by August 19 and a compliance report be filed by August 22.

The EC is publishing the names of ‘ASD’ (Absentee, Shifted, and Dead) voters across polling booths, and is likely to do so online as has been directed by the apex court, they said.

According to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Bihar, ASD lists have been displayed at polling booths in Rohtas, Begusarai, Arwal and other places. (PTI)
