Overview

West Bengal’s Special Intensive Revision has digitised 99.53% of enumeration forms as the house-to-house phase ends on December 11.
Authorities have identified roughly 56–57 lakh entries as excludable, including 23,98,345 recorded as deceased.
The flagged list also includes 19,64,629 voters marked as transferred, 10,94,710 missing, 1,32,215 duplicates, and 47,832 in other technical categories.
The CEO’s office issued show-cause notices to two BLOs, one ERO and one AERO in the Baruipur (Purba) constituency for breaching revision guidelines.
Electors who missed submission are urged to use the ECI/CEO website or the ECINET app to file the Enumeration Form online, with Form-6 available during the claims period if needed.
