Desk Correspondent , Kolkata – The actions of Election Commission of India reveals seat-wise data bias in adjudication cuts in West Bengal. 6.2 million voters were deleted between pre-SIR and pre-adjudication phases, and another 2.7 million during adjudication. The prestent total is satnding at 8.9 million voters. The Special Intensive Revision, conducted in 2026 to update voter list before of assembly elections, shows the adjudication phase increasing the bias compared to SIR, particularly in Muslim-dominated areas.
The data analysis only indicates that adjudication deletions are far more skewed the ratio between the highest and lowest 10% of ACs by deletion rate is 25.8, against only 4.2 in the pre-adjudication SIR phase. The 67 assembly seats that elected at least one Muslim MLA in the 2011, 2016 or 2021 elections, which accounted for 23% of pre-SIR electors, represented 46% of voters under adjudication and 40.5 per cent of the deletions in that phase. Their share in the voters post-adjudication has come down to 22.6 per cent, even though pre-adjudication removals were at 19.1 per cent.
This special adjudication process is unique to West Bengal among states undertaking voter list revisions. It aims to ensure accuracy in the polls but has highlighted potential biases in the deletion process. The deletions show no correlation with 2024 Lok Sabha election victory margins or party-wise winners. With 22,163 voters still awaiting adjudication, the SIR phase saw 8.1 per cent deletions and adjudication 3.9 per cent.
