TMC instructs BLOs to carry out fresh, door-to-door scrutiny of deleted voters

The TMC leadership has decided to instruct its booth-level agents to carry out fresh, door-to-door scrutiny of deleted voters' names in Bhabanipur, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's assembly constituency, after nearly 45,000 electors were struck off from the draft rolls under the SIR exercise, party sources said. 

According to Election Commission data, Bhabanipur had 2,06,295 voters as of January 2025. The draft



rolls now carry 1,61,509 names, indicating that 44,787 voters, nearly 21.7 per cent of the electorate, have been deleted.

The Commission on Tuesday published West Bengal's draft electoral rolls following the special intensive revision (SIR), deleting the names of more than 58 lakh voters on various grounds, including death and migration, and redrawing voter profiles across districts and border belts ahead of the 2026 assembly polls.
