Patna (Bihar) [India], July 6 (ANI): The ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign of the electoral rolls in Bihar is progressing rapidly. Recognizing the efforts of the polling station officials, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Bihar has announced a special incentive of Rs 6,000 for each.
This additional honorarium is aimed at acknowledging their hard work and commitment during the intensive revision process.
“The Rs 6,000 incentive has been approved as a mark of appreciation for the tireless service of polling staff during this crucial campaign,” said a statement issued by the CEO’s office.
Apart from this, the SIR in Bihar is underway in full swing with Booth Level Officers (BLOs), BLO Supervisors, election officials, Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by political parties, and volunteers working tirelessly at the grassroots level to ensure that no eligible elector is left out, according to a press release by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
As per the release, as of July 5 at 6:00 PM, 1,04,16,545 Enumeration Forms—i.e. 13.19 per cent of the total 7,89,69,844 (nearly 7.90 crore) electors in Bihar who are enrolled as of June 24, 2025—have been received.
The percentage of forms distributed has also increased to 93.57 per cent, with 7,38,89,333 forms already distributed.
77,895 BLOs are going house-to-house to help electors fill out their Enumeration Forms and collect them. In many cases, the BLOs are taking live pictures of the electors and uploading them, saving the electors the trouble of getting their pictures taken.
Partially filled forms are also available for download on the ECI portal (https://voters.eci.gov.in) as well as on the ECINET App. The filled forms can also be uploaded by the electors themselves on the ECINET App.
Additionally, 20,603 BLOs are being appointed for the smooth and timely completion of the process. Nearly 4 lakh volunteers—including government officials, NCC cadets, NSS members, etc.—are also working in the field to assist the elderly, PwDs, sick, and vulnerable populations in the SIR process.
Besides this, 239 EROs, 963 AEROs, 38 DEOs, and the CEO of the state are operating at the ground level to facilitate the submission of forms by electors.
Furthermore, 1,54,977 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by various political parties are also providing active support in the SIR process, as per the release.
