The SIR conundrum in West Bengal

Updated – March 05, 2026 01:54 am IST - DHAKA

Admin
While the Trinamool Congress under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee used SIR as an electoral opportunity and used the harassment of people to target the ECI and BJP led government at the Centre, the West Bengal BJP leadership appears to be disappointed with the outcome of the exercise as deletions in the electoral roll are far less than what they had wished for. The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in West Bengal has finally ended barring a judicial adjudication of about 60 lakh electors as per the directions of the Supreme Court on February 20, 2026. The electorate of West Bengal stood at 7.04 crore on February 28, 2026, reduced by 8.09% since the start of the revision process on October 27, 2025, when the number of voters in the State was 7.66 crore. Names of some more electors will be struck off the electoral rolls after the 501 judicial officers complete the process of adjudication, but for the people of West Bengal the process seems to be finally over.
