No recommendation for re-polling in first phase of Bihar elections: Election Commission

Second phase of SIR: Rajasthan tops the country with 99.5 percent digitization.

Jaipur, December 3 (IANS). After Bihar, special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is taking place in 12 states of the country. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has achieved another important milestone in the second phase of SIR. Meanwhile, Rajasthan has bagged the first position in digitization of EF. According to the latest information given by the Commission, digitization of more than 47.5 crore i.e. more than 93 percent of Enumeration Forms (EF) across the country has been completed. Under this campaign, forms have been delivered to 99.83 per cent i.e. more than 50.88 crore voters in the ongoing comprehensive voter verification work in 12 states and union territories. Chief Electoral Officer Naveen Mahajan said that out of the total 5.46 crore counting forms, more than 5.43 crore were uploaded on ECI-Net due to which 99.5 percent counting was completed before the scheduled time. This extraordinary progress reflects Rajasthan’s strong digital infrastructure and well-organized regional coordination, demonstrating how technology and grassroots efforts can work well together. Rajasthan is also leading in voter mapping, where the state has completed more than 95 percent of the total mapping. Notably, nine assembly constituencies Kapasan, Baytu, Salumber, Lohawat, Nagar, Sikri, Osian, Shahpura and Bamanwas crossed the 99 per cent mapping mark. Kapasan leads the way, where 99.46 percent of the 2.73 lakh voters have been mapped, meaning only about 1,500 persons now have to submit documents during the amendment process. Mapping ensures better accuracy, better voter services and smooth voter list verification without any additional paperwork. This progress is the result of the efforts of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) working at 46,000 polling stations. Rajasthan has also emerged as the best performing state in digitization where Barmer, Salumber, Balotra, Jhalawar, Phalodi, Bharatpur, Churu, Dausa and Baran have achieved 100 percent digitization and become models for the country. He emphasized that SIR is not just a data-based process but a collective responsibility that must be carried out with honesty, transparency and accuracy. Rajasthan’s demonstration is an important milestone in creating a more accurate, voter-friendly and technologically advanced electoral roll. –IANS Ms/abm
