The Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) second phase has reduced voters by about 5.4 crore in 12 states and Union Territories. Uttar Pradesh saw 2.05 crore names deleted with the release of its final electoral roll. The process began on October 27, 2025.
The Election Commission of India has deleted over 27 lakh names from West Bengal's voter list following Special Intensive Revision, affecting many who voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The move has sparked accusations of bias from TMC and defenses from BJP ahead of assembly elections. The Supreme Court recently declined further intervention.

The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to freeze West Bengal's voter rolls and publish the supplementary list by midnight after noting that adjudication of claims from voters deleted during the Special Intensive Revision was nearly complete. The court refused to set a deadline for appellate tribunals, stressing the need to freeze the lists now.
