The Electoral Commission (EC) has completed hearings addressing 'logical discrepancies' within the electoral rolls in West Bengal, an official revealed Saturday. The discussions resolved issues such as name spellings and omissions that have persisted since December.

These hearings spanned numerous venues, including schools and administrative buildings, across the state. The main objective was to rectify any errors before the final electoral rolls are published on February 28.

Officials have until February 21 to scrutinize documents, while data omissions must be addressed by new deadlines. An estimated 58 lakh names, mostly deceased or duplicate voters, are under review.
