India's Election Commission released West Bengal's first supplementary voters list around 11:55 PM on March 23. The list covers decisions on about 29 lakh names under adjudication. Technical glitches prevented many voters from downloading it.
Ahead of the 2026 West Bengal assembly elections, India's Election Commission published the first supplementary voters list around 11:55 PM on Monday, March 23. The list relates to about 60 lakh names marked as under consideration in the final electoral roll released on February 28. To resolve these, 705 judicial officers were deployed, with decisions now taken on roughly 29 lakh names, though exact additions or deletions remain unclear. Voters must search by assembly constituency and booth number, but the portal does not yet display total figures. Heavy traffic late at night caused technical issues, hindering downloads for many. Security measures have been tightened in the state following the release. Elections for West Bengal's 294 assembly seats will occur in two phases on April 23 and 29, with counting on May 4.
