New Delhi- The Election Commission has included the voters' list of Bihar published after the special intensive revision and Aadhaar card in the list of indicative documents people will have to submit in the 12 states and union territories where the electoral roll cleanup exercise was announced on Monday.

In its instructions issued to the chief electoral officers of the states and UTs, the poll authority said electoral registration officers will issue notices to those electors whose previous SIR electoral roll details provided in the enumeration forms are either not available or do not match the database.

The elector, it said, can provide the documents based on the different categories.
