Election Commission Rejects Madhyamik Admit Card for Voter Verification in West Bengal SIR

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has rejected proposals to accept the Madhyamik (Class 10) admit card as a valid document for voter verification during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal. The ECI reaffirmed its list of approved documents, which includes government-issued identity cards, birth certificates, passports, and Aadhaar as a supplementary document but not as standalone proof. Separately, notices have been issued to some voters, including retired officials, to attend hearings due to discrepancies in the voter list.
