Overview

  • Justice V. G. Arun refused to defer the Special Intensive Revision in Kerala, closing the writ and allowing the state to seek relief before the Supreme Court.
  • Kerala’s LDF government, the CPI(M) and the Congress said they will file separate petitions in the Supreme Court seeking a deferment until after the December local body polls.
  • The Election Commission’s latest bulletin puts overall Phase II enumeration‑form distribution at about 95% across 12 states and UTs, with Kerala below 90%.
  • Kerala’s Chief Electoral Officer said roughly 85% of forms have been distributed in the state and projected completion of distribution by November 25.
  • Phase II runs house‑to‑house from November 4 to December 4, with draft rolls due December 9 and final rolls scheduled for February 7, 2026, as political disputes continue over large deletions reported earlier in Bihar and complaints in West Bengal.
