West Bengal's assembly elections are scheduled for April 23 and 29, with counting on May 4. Following a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, about 60 lakh voters remain under adjudication by judicial officers appointed under Supreme Court orders. Supplementary voter lists will be issued as cases are resolved, but delays risk excluding some voters from the polls. Political parties express concerns over voter rights and the impact on candidates, while the Election Commission and judiciary work to finalize the rolls before nomination deadlines.
