Election Commission Reviews Poll Preparedness in Kerala and West Bengal Ahead of Assembly Elections

The Election Commission of India (ECI) is conducting pre-election preparedness reviews in Kerala and West Bengal ahead of upcoming Assembly polls. In West Bengal, the ECI expressed concerns over inadequate poll preparations in South 24 Parganas and Cooch Behar districts bordering Bangladesh. Meetings focus on electoral roll scrutiny, security planning, and administrative readiness. The full ECI bench will visit West Bengal in March to assess ground-level arrangements before finalizing the election schedule.
