The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to publish the details of around 65 lakh voters whose names were removed from the draft electoral roll released on August 1, in the wake of the special intensive revision (SIR) of rolls in poll-bound Bihar.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, hearing a batch of petitions challenging the SIR process, asked the poll panel to display the names district-wise on the websites of the respective district election officers, reported PTI.

“The list of approximately 65 lakh voters, whose names appeared in the voter list as on 2025 but are not included in the draft roll dated August 1, 2025, shall be displayed on the websites of the district election officers (District-wise),” the bench said.
