A recent CPI(ML) survey in Bihar reveals that a significant number of individuals who were mistakenly removed from the electoral rolls continue to live at their registered addresses.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist‑Leninist) conducted a field survey across multiple districts of Bihar to verify the accuracy of the state's electoral rolls. Researchers visited households listed as voters and cross‑checked their presence against the official roll data. The survey uncovered that a notable proportion of people who had been erroneously deleted from the rolls were still residing at the addresses recorded in the voter database. These findings highlight gaps in the roll‑updating process, which can disenfranchise citizens during elections. Election officials have been urged to review and correct the records promptly to ensure that all eligible voters can exercise their franchise.
