PATNA, June 30 -- Over 10,000,000 pre-filled enumeration forms were distributed among voters in Bihar, covering around 30% polling stations across 78,000 booths in the state as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), launched by the Election Commission on Sunday. "We have covered around 25-30% of the booths in Bihar today [Sunday]. We are going to intensify the exercise in the coming days so that all electors get the forms," said Bihar's chief electoral officer Vinod Singh Gunjiyal. In many districts, the district magistrate-cum-district election officer (DEO) also met voters while distributing the forms and explained the modalities of the SIR to voters. The exercise gained momentum after the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Bihar state election department trained thousands of volunteers as assistant teachers to help in the exercise that has to be completed within a short span, by July 26. The first draft of the revised roll will be ready by early August. The Opposition has attacked EC over the exercise, saying that the move was more dangerous than National Register of Citizens and a ploy to help the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The party and poll panel have rejected the charge and said the drive is needed to weed out ineligible names, citing rapid urbanisation, frequent migration and inclusion of the names of foreign illegal immigrants. Under the SIR exercise, voters have to give documents to prove their date of birth and /or place of birth along with the forms being distributed in all districts. There are a total of 11 documents an elector can provide as attachment with the self-declaration form to establish the date of birth and/or place of birth, as per the SIR guidelines. Though the Election Commission of India (ECI) has clarified that voters can submit forms without any documents at the draft stage and can have their names enrolled in the draft list, officials in the state election department asserted that it was in the interest of the electors to submit any one of the documents prescribed under SIR so that they can be enrolled easily. "It would be in the interest of the voters to submit any of the documents prescribed under SIR as it is required as per provisions. There are orders that voters have to submit the documents with the enumeration forms. If in certain cases, voters are not able to submit the documents, it is for the EROs [electoral registration officers] to take a call," said the chief electoral officer, Bihar....
