Revised Timelines for West Bengal Voter List

Earlier, the ECI revised the timelines for West Bengal's SIR, pushing the final publication to February 14, 2026. That order cited extensive enumeration efforts and polling station rationalisation requirements.

In an official order issued on Wednesday, the ECI stated that the extension has been granted, taking into account the large-scale enumeration work and the need for proper verification and rationalisation of polling stations across the state. Under the West Bengal schedule, Booth Level Officers completed house-to-house verification on December 11, 2025, while draft rolls were published on December 16, 2025. Claims and objections in the state were accepted until January 15, 2026.

ECI Urges Citizen Participation

The ECI has reiterated that all citizens are encouraged to participate in the SIR process actively to ensure accurate and up-to-date electoral rolls, which form the backbone of free and fair elections. (ANI)
