West Bengal Polling Stations With Perfect Records Drop From 2208 to 29 Amid SIR Reverification
December 4, 2025
Polling stations in West Bengal that showed 100% digitisation of enumeration forms and zero ineligible electors fell sharply from 2,208 to 29 by December 3, 2025. This happened after Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal ordered rechecking by District Electoral Officers. Earlier, 2,208 booths had recorded zero dead, duplicate, shifted, or untraceable voters during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
On December 1, more than 7,000 booths showed only one to ten uncollectable forms, indicating very few ineligible voters. West Bengal has over 80,000 polling booths with about 900 to 1,000 electors each.
New data shows only 20 booths in South 24 Parganas, four in Malda, two in Purulia, and one each in Jalpaiguri, Howrah, and Paschim Medinipur now have zero uncollectable forms. Previously, South 24 Parganas had over 700 such booths, Purulia 228, and Malda 216.
This update is important as the Bharatiya Janata Party has raised serious concerns about irregularities in the ongoing SIR process and the Election Commission’s recent appointment of electoral roll observers in West Bengal.
