Decoding Bihar Miracle - 1/12

ECI has to tell the nation how it counted 1,77,673 more than the polled votes?
Why did it change the total number of electors twice after announcing the final SIR figure?
Why did the ECI not announce the gross number of votes polled in the state?
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 2/12

As per EC press note No. ECI/PN/313/2025 dated 30/09/2025 the total electors after it ‘successfully completed’ SIR in Bihar is
~ 7.42 crores.
Why approximation (~) instead of actual number? Image
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 3/12

As per press note No. ECI/PN/316/2025 dated 6th October, 2025, EC revised this number after adding 1,63,619 Service Voters and brought the total number to
7,43,55,976 Image
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 4/12

The press note No. ECI/PN/351/2025 dated 11.11.2025, after completion of polling put the total number of electors at 7,45,26,858
and said the polling was 66.91% Image

Then, in the press note No. ECI/PN/352/2025 dated 12.11.2025, EC made an upward revision of polling to 67.13% Image
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 6/12

The gross number of votes polled - calculated as 67.13% of 7,45,26,858 comes to 5,00,29,880

But the total number of votes counted from all the 243 constituencies adds up to 5,02,07,553
(I have screenshots of the ECI declarations for all 243)
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 7/12

The difference between polled votes
and
counted votes from all 243 constituencies comes to 1,77,673 votes.
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 8/12

ECI has to tell the nation
why and how did it count 1,77,673 more than the polled votes?

Why did it change the total number of electors twice after announcing the final SIR figure?
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 9/12

Why did the ECI not announce the gross number of votes polled in the state?

Why did they not reveal the gross number of votes polled in each constituency?
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 10/12

When EC can give percentage polling figures what difficulty does it face to announce the gross voting figures state-wide and constituency-wise?
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 11/12

Is the ECI's doing/non-doing simply an innocent muddle? Or incompetence? Or carelessness? Or a tendentious smokescreen/opacity to benefit a Party?
Or sheer arrogance that it’s above the law and accountability?
Decoding Bihar Miracle - 12/12

Is the beneficiary of this ECI Muddle/Incompetence/Carelessness/Arrogance/Tendentious smokescreen/Opacity, innocent and unaware of it and really thinks that its mandate in Bihar is genuine and is a result of its winning the hearts of the people?
