Supreme Court pushes West Bengal voter list fixes after record turnout in first phase

19 tribunals now handle urgent voter list additions

After strong voter turnout in West Bengal’s first phase, the Supreme Court has ordered appellate tribunals to fast-track urgent additions to voter lists. People left out of the rolls can seek redressal through 19 appointed tribunals. The court will later consider broader questions about the right to remain on electoral rolls, tightening access to voting.
