Overview

  • Booth-level officers in West Bengal received booth-wise access to the draft rolls 24 hours early via a dedicated app to support preliminary checks.
  • The Election Commission urged all electors to verify their names online through ECI and state CEO portals or by contacting BLOs and using the ECINET app.
  • About 58.21 lakh entries are identified for deletion in the draft, including deceased, untraceable, permanently shifted and duplicate voters.
  • Printed copies will be provided to recognised political parties and kept with district magistrates, with no immediate display at BDO or SDO offices due to logistics.
  • Claims and objections, with notices and hearings conducted by EROs, are set to follow publication, with hearings expected to start within a week once guidelines issue; West Bengal’s election dates will be announced after the final roll is published.
