Large number of Nepalese, Bangladeshis found in Bihar's intensive revision of voter list — Officials
They asserted that the names of illegal migrants will not be included in the final electoral roll to be published on September 30, after proper enquiry of such people is conducted after August 1.

The Election Commission will eventually carry out a special intensive revision of electoral rolls across India to weed out foreign illegal migrants by checking their place of birth.
Bihar is going to polls this year, while assembly polls in these five other states — Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal — are scheduled in 2026.
The move assumes significance in the wake of a crackdown in various states on illegal foreign migrants, including from Bangladesh and Myanmar.
