Polling stations in West Bengal that had triggered scrutiny by the Election Commission for recording 100% digitisation of enumeration forms and zero ineligible electors drastically dropped in number from 2,208 to 29 on December 3, 2025.
SC hearing on SIR LIVE updates: Social audit, more credible way to revise electoral roll, says Prashant Bhushan
This follows the State’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manoj Kumar Agarwal seeking reports and reverification by the District Electoral Officers concerned earlier this week when 2,208 polling booths were found to have recorded zero dead, duplicate, shifted or untraceable electors in the enumeration phase of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of West Bengal’s electoral rolls.
As on Monday (December 1, 2025), more than 7,000 polling booths had recorded only between one to ten ‘uncollectable’ forms, also signalling negligible ineligible voters. West Bengal has more than 80,000 polling booths with around 900 to 1,000 electors per booth.
