After Bihar, the focus has now shifted to West Bengal, as the poll panel is gearing up to launch the SIR in the state ahead of the scheduled assembly elections in 2026.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS
A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR).
