In an impressive display of efficiency, electoral officials in West Bengal have ensured all enumeration forms were completed across 2208 booths, signaling a clean voter list void of deceased, duplicate, or untraceable entries, according to Election Commission sources.

The highest number of such booths, 760, is located in South 24 Parganas district. This is followed by 228 in Purulia and 226 in Murshidabad. Howrah district accounts for 94 such booths while Kolkata has only one, EC sources added.

The latest development comes amid opposition critiques, leading to an extension of the Special Intensive Revision timeline until December 11. The revised schedule allows more time for voter form distribution, with draft and final electoral rolls now slated for release on December 16, 2023, and February 14, 2026, respectively.
