The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday (July 12, 2025) said that it has distributed Enumeration Forms for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Voter Rolls in Bihar to almost all electors who were found at their addresses and added that the forms can be submitted by July 25 and the required documents later by August 30.

The Commission stated that 100% of the forms had been printed and that distribution was nearly complete for all electors found at their respective addresses. As of 6:00 p.m. on Saturday (July 12, 2025), a total of 6,32,59,497 Enumeration Forms — or 80.11% of electors — had been collected.
The ECI had earlier, on July 6, issued front-page advertisements in Patna-based newspapers urging voters to submit their filled forms even if they did not yet possess the requisite documents. The advertisement clarified that Electoral Registration Officers could process such forms based on local inquiries or alternative documentary evidence.
