Lakhs in Bihar may lose vote, ADR tells SC

The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) has filed a challenge in the Supreme Court against the Election Commission’s special intensive revision (SIR) of Bihar’s electoral rolls, claiming it risks disenfranchising many, especially marginalized communities. ADR argues that the SIR’s documentation requirements unfairly burden vulnerable populations, as essential documents like Aadhaar and ration cards are not accepted.
