Following the massive protest of a month-long  Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, the Election Commission (EC) is all set to publish the draft electoral rolls for Bihar on Friday ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls, reported ANI. 

This will also begin the "claims and objections" process, which will continue until September 1. During this time, voters who believe their names were wrongly deleted can contact the relevant authorities to seek a resolution.

As reported by PTI, the EC claims there were 7.93 crore registered voters in the state before the SIR began late last month.
