As far as I am aware, bolting is part of the stunning process, done prior to the slitting of the beasts throat.
I said in a previous post, I was offered an opportunity to watch this being done, but declined........I DID watch the electrical stunning of smaller animals(not chickens).

I am not that squeamish, but did not really want to watch bolting.

I thought the electrical stunning was a bit like ECT which I saw carried out on the mental health unit.
