West Bengal's Election Commission is set to publish the final voter list on February 28, following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process that updated the electoral rolls from 7.66 crore to 7.08 crore voters. The list will categorize electors as 'approved', 'deleted', or 'under adjudication', with around 60 lakh names under judicial review due to discrepancies. The exercise, mandated by the Supreme Court, has sparked political tensions, with the ruling TMC alleging voter exclusion and the BJP warning of potential unrest. Supplementary lists will follow as adjudications continue.
