Election Commission Seeks Faster Upload of Voter Hearing Data Amid Receipt Concerns in West Bengal

The Election Commission (EC) has urged district election officers in West Bengal to promptly upload voter verification hearing data amid delays, as many electors attending Special Intensive Revision (SIR) hearings have not submitted required documents. Following concerns raised by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about the lack of acknowledgement receipts for submitted documents, the state's Chief Electoral Officer proposed issuing stamped receipts to voters. The EC aims to complete hearings for millions of voters to update electoral rolls accurately.
