Careful Curns: On special intensive amendment of Bihar’s election role

Special intensive amendment of Bihar (SIR) of Bihar’s election role The Election Commission of India (ECI) has criticized political parties, and is fine. Millions of voters may be misinformed as a result of the vastness of the work, short duration and strict norms for verification. The ECI statement that only ordinary residents will qualify only to include in the electoral rolls, especially increased concerns among opposition parties. Critics argue that it will be difficult for migrant voters – Bihar’s 20% polling population – to be present for verification during the window ending July 31, and creates a high probability that they can hit the roll. The People Act, 1950 represents the 1950 that “a person who temporarily absorbs himself from the place of his ordinary residence will not be due to,” will usually stop being resident “, and the manual on the electoral roll says that such people will be considered as general residents until they have the ability and intention to return. It means that they should be taken care of, which means that they should be taken care of, which means that they should be taken care of, which means they are educated, which means they are specially taken care of, Are away from their residence for the period.

This issue becomes more complex with long -term migrants. In the case of Bihar, there is an important section of the voting-age population, especially men, migration for work. This becomes clear when a unique electoral dynamic is revealed, while passing voting data from the 2024 general election in the state. Bihar is a state where more women came out to vote compared to males (1,017.5 females for every 1,000 men), even though there were more registered male voters on the role (for every 1,000 men, only 917.5 females, for men). This election was seen in dynamic Jharkhand, and there was no difference in Himachal Pradesh, but there was no difference in Bihar. It is a good reason to believe that many absent male voters were registered in their domestic constituencies in Bihar, but were unable to return to polling day, raising the overall polling rate for men. These voters were part of a large migrant Kohrket, which included several long -term migrants. The head should be carefully passed by such voters and ensure that only the migrants are removed from the rolls for a long time-not an easy task. For long -term migrants, meaningful representation needs to register their vote where they currently reside and work. Pravasi workers are integral parts of economic engines of many states, and their political voice should be more impressive in blaming delegates for their everyday challenges rather than their original places. The head of ECI should balance these principles. Ideally, such a process should take more time than a month that ECI has allocated for it.
