A senior West Bengal poll official stated that domicile certificates are not currently considered valid documentary evidence for Special Intensive Revision (SIR) hearings. Voters who submitted them may face new hearings. The official cited that only state-notified permanent residence proof is admissible, and domicile certificates do not meet this criterion, with concerns raised about their improper issuance. Additionally, nearly 10,000 newly issued voter ID cards were returned undelivered.
