The month-long period to demand inclusion or deletion of names from the electoral rolls of Bihar ends on Monday, with more than 33,000 electors filing pleas to add their names to the list.

Over 2 lakh demands have been made by individuals seeking removal of names they claim have been wrongfully included in the draft rolls.
The draft electoral rolls were published on August 1 and will remain open for "claims and objections" by individuals and political parties till September 1.

People and parties have the right under election law to challenge inclusion of names who they think are ineligible. Similarly, people who think they are eligible but have been left out of the draft list can seek inclusion.
