A close analysis of the 2025 Bihar assembly election reveals a critical detail: in 11 seats, the number of voters removed from the rolls during the pre-election special intensive revision (SIR) was greater than the winner’s margin of victory.
This finding highlights the pre-election debate over the SIR process. The political opposition had warned that the deletions could disproportionately affect the results in tight contests. The final results now allow that claim to be tested with data, identifying the specific battlegrounds where the number of removed voters is higher than the margin separating the winner and the runner-up.
