Bihar polls: SC to decide on exclusion of 3.66 lakh

India Oct 07, 2025

The Supreme Court is about to decide on the legality of the exclusion of 3.66 lakh voters from Bihar's electoral rolls after a Special Intensive Revision.
This comes just as the state gears up for its Assembly elections, with the final voter list now including 7.43 crore people—14 lakh of them first-time voters.

Implications of the verdict

This verdict could impact not just Bihar but future elections across India. The court has flagged that any mistake in this revision process might set a national precedent.
With big alliances negotiating seats and opposition parties questioning how transparent the process was, a lot of eyes are on what happens next—especially for young and first-time voters wondering if their names are still on the list.
