The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday (February 28, 2026) began publishing the post-SIR electoral rolls in West Bengal in phases, with figures from Bankura district showing that about 1.18 lakh names have been removed since the exercise started.
The development is significant as the State heads towards Assembly elections in the coming months. Hard copies of the updated rolls were displayed in districts such as Bankura and Cooch Behar, although the updated lists had not yet been uploaded on the designated EC portals or mobile application at the time of reporting.
