Amidst the ongoing exercise of Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the Trinamool Congress has launched a major outreach programme Banglar Vote Raksha (Protection to voters of Bengal) to reach out to the electorate of the State during the revision of the voter list.
Describing Banglar Vote Raksha as a citizen-support and voter-awareness campaign, the Trinamool Congress outreach focuses on preventing wrongful deletions and assisting new voters who wish to be added to the roll.

As a part of the campaign the Trinamool Congress has set up over 5,000 voter assistance camps at ward and anchal levels across the State. From the day of launch of the initiative on November 4, people have started flooding these camps seeking assistance to fill up SIR enumeration forms.
Under the initiative volunteers are conducting door-to-door outreach to help citizens complete enumeration forms and Form 6 enrolments for new voters, with the door to door campaign tracked digitally on the Didir Doot App. Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh while speaking on the initiative said that out of 12 States where the SIR is being held the Banglar Vote Raksha is one and only initiative by a political party to assist the electorate on such a large scale.
