West Bengal to Ensure Fair Elections with 100% Accurate Voter List

The Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal, Manoj Agarwal, announced on Tuesday that the upcoming Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will be executed without eliminating any genuine voters from the list. This statement comes in the wake of an all-party meeting held at the CEO office.

With currently 7,66,37,529 voters registered in the state, Agarwal emphasized the importance of transparency and fairness in the electoral process during the comprehensive survey set to begin on November 4. Enumeration forms will be distributed, and data collected will be cross-verified with lists dating back to 2002.

To ensure no legitimate voter is excluded, a help desk will be established in each district, providing resolution for any confusion. Agarwal reiterated that if a voter's parent's name is present in the 2002 records, concerns are unwarranted, and any oversights will be addressed through notices and hearings.
