"special-intensive-revision"

The Election Commission has doubled the annual pay of BLOs to Rs 12,000 and sanctioned a Rs 6,000 incentive for voter list revision in Bihar. BLO supervisors, EROs, and AEROs will also receive increased annual remuneration, the EC announced on Saturday

With six more days to go for filling up of enumeration forms, the Election Commission said efforts are being made to ensure that the remaining nearly 32 lakh electors are added to the draft roll.

As the BJP replays Assam agitation on a national scale, one must ask: Is this really about national security, or just another chapter in the politics of manufactured threats?

Official data also states that of the nearly 7.90 crore electors, over 35.69 lakh were not found at their addresses during the house-to-house visit of booth-level officers

It is puzzling that India’s poll panel has discarded its own findings of more than two decades in registering electors as per its notified due process

There are genuine concerns that the Election Commission’s ongoing Special Intensive Revision in Bihar could result in mass disenfranchisement, especially among marginalised groups such as migrant labourers, women, and the poor
