The curious case of West Bengal
In the months before West Bengal voted in 2026, the Election Commission's special revision removed about 91 lakh names, nearly one voter in eight, and added 7 lakh in the final days. These reports follow it in order: the claims, how the revision ran, who was removed, the result, and the appeals still waiting. Each case includes the Commission's response where one was reported.

How to read this page
Each link carries a label. Allegation is a claim by a party, politician or campaigner. Investigation is a newsroom's own reporting. Data analysis works from electoral-roll or results data. Ground report means reporters spoke to people on the spot. Official response is what the Election Commission or other officials said. Court covers Supreme Court hearings and orders. Fact check tests a specific claim.
An allegation is not a finding, and deletions larger than a winning margin do not show how those voters would have voted. Read the original reports for the evidence and the replies.
