Overview
- Enumeration across 12 states and UTs is scheduled for November 4–December 4, with draft rolls on December 9, claims and objections to January 8, and final rolls on February 7, 2026.
- West Bengal officials report all Booth-Level Officers have joined after suspension warnings to 143 absentees, with 80,681 BLOs deployed and ERO/DEO training underway, plus special camps in flood-hit districts.
- The Calcutta High Court has admitted a petition seeking a court‑monitored revision and more time for the exercise, as political opposition in the state escalates.
- The Election Commission is reviewing a proposal for Assembly‑wise joint supervisory committees in West Bengal, while the CEO has posted BLO contacts, opened helplines and introduced a ‘Book‑a‑Call with BLO’ facility.
- State CEOs underline an inclusion‑first approach: no documents will be taken during door‑to‑door visits and only unresolved cases face hearings later, with early mapping (e.g., Punjab’s 55% match) expected to limit document demands.
