New Delhi, Aug. 25 -- The Election Commission on Sunday said documents of 98.2 per cent electors have already been received with eight more days left for people to file claims and objections to the draft electoral roll of Bihar published as part of the intensive revision of voters' list. It underlined that the claims and objections period gives an opportunity to the electors to not only rectify mistakes in the draft rolls, but also submit their requisite documents which they may not have provided while submitting their enumeration forms. "As per information received from the office of CEO Bihar, till date documents of 98.2 per cent electors have been received," it said. From June 24 to August 24, in 60 days, 98.2 per cent persons have submitted their documents. "This means an average of about 1.64 per cent per day. There are still eight days ro go till September 1 with just 1.8 per cent electors remaining for submission of the documents," it said. The Supreme Court has now asked the poll authority to accept Aadhaar or any of the 11 listed documents from people seeking inclusion in the voters list. The Election Commission has asked the Supreme Court to repose faith in it for carrying out the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar. The SIR in Bihar began on June 24 with the enumeration phase and publication of the draft electoral rolls on August 1. The claims and objections period will end on September 1. According to the ECI, 7.24 crore electors are listed in the draft rolls. The Commission said that from June 24 to August 24, documents from 98.2 per cent electors have been collected, averaging about 1.64 per cent per day. Verification of documents is being done by 243 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and 2,976 Assistant EROs. All claims and objections, along with verification, are scheduled to be decided by September 25. The final electoral rolls will be published on September 30. This is the first time the Commission has released consolidated figures on the number of documents received. Over the past weeks, political parties and the Supreme Court had sought clarity on the progress of the revision exercise. Last Sunday, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar said it would be "too premature" to share the numbers because the data was still being compiled at the ERO level. "I myself don't know," Kumar told reporters then, adding that details were still being consolidated from the districts. The figures released today mark a change, with the ECI giving a statewide tally for the first time. The Supreme Court is monitoring the exercise after large-scale deletions from the draft rolls raised concerns. Around 65 lakh names had been excluded in the draft published on August 1. The Court directed the Commission on August 14 to upload the list of omitted names on district websites and the CEO Bihar website in searchable form. It also ordered that voters could establish their eligibility by submitting Aadhaar or any of 11 listed identity documents. In compliance, the Commission uploaded the list of excluded names within two days and began accepting claims with the prescribed documents. It has asked the Court to repose trust in its ability to complete the revision within the scheduled timelines. Facing questions from opposition parties, the CEC last week said the exercise was being carried out within the legal framework. The claims and objections period will continue until September 1. EROs and AEROs will complete verification and decide on all cases by September 25. After final checks, the electoral rolls for Bihar will be published on September 30....
