flag An Assistant Electoral Registration Officer in West Bengal resigned on January 8, 2026, over alleged flaws in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, citing errors from outdated data conversion, unacknowledged corrections via Form 8, and rigid processing that risks disenfranchising marginalized voters. flag The officer highlighted mismatches in names, ages, and sex data, including unusual entries like “Ya,” and warned that requiring 12 documents to resolve discrepancies unfairly targets those without proper paperwork. flag The resignation, linked to concerns about systemic bias and procedural rigidity, has drawn criticism from West Bengal’s Chief Minister and the Trinamool Congress, who accuse the Election Commission of politicizing the process, though the Commission has not responded.
