Bengal Final Voters List 2026 Released Today: 66 Lakh Names Marked Deleted or Under Adjudication

Kolkata: Electors in West Bengal will know by noon today whether they remain eligible to vote in the upcoming assembly polls as the state’s final electoral roll is set to be published online.

The roll follows nearly four months of a special intensive revision. The final list will retain all 7.08 crore names that featured in the draft SIR list, but around 66 lakh will be marked either ‘deleted’ or ‘under adjudication’.

Election Commission sources said close to 6 lakh names struck off by EROs and AEROs during disposal of cases will be marked as ‘deleted’, while over 60 lakh names will be marked as ‘under adjudication’.

In view of the publication of the electoral roll and Dol Yatra and Holi, the state administration on Friday asked police to remain on high alert.

"The voters' list went to print this morning. It will be published online by noon tomorrow. Any elector can check his/her name by searching their EPIC number on the EC or CEO website and ECINET app. Physical lists will be available at the offices of BDO, SDO and DM/DEO," Bengal CEO Manoj Agarwal said on Friday.

"If electors want to check their names on the physical list, they will have to visit or send a representative to the BDO, SDO or DM/DEO offices," he added.

The CEO said authorities do not anticipate the Election Commission website crashing as multiple servers have been deployed to host the lists.

Eight registered political parties will receive the full electoral roll on pen drives from the CEO’s office. At the district level, DEOs will provide two hard copies of the district electoral roll to political parties.

Asked whether the list will be displayed at polling booths, Agarwal said there is "no such legal provision". He clarified that BLOs will not receive hard copies of the electoral roll.

For electors in Kolkata North and Kolkata South parliamentary constituencies, hard copies of the electoral roll will be available at the Kolkata North DEO’s office at Jessop Building and the Kolkata South DEO’s office at Alipore.
