Patna, Oct 3: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday released the final electoral roll for Bihar following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, revealing a significant decline in voters ahead of the state polls. The total electorate fell by around 38 lakh, from 7.8 crore on January 1, 2025, to 7.4 crore in the final rolls.

The decline among women voters was particularly pronounced. Male voters decreased by 3.8 per cent (15.5 lakh), while female voters saw a sharper drop of 6.1 per cent (22.7 lakh). Political analysts note that this gender gap could have important consequences, as women voters play a key role in the strategies of both major alliances in Bihar.
