Nov 08, 2025 05:11 pm CST

The Election Commission of India has reprimanded Booth Level Officers in West Bengal for distributing Special Intensive Revision enumeration forms in public places rather than at voters' homes. Following multiple complaints from political parties, the ECI has mandated strict adherence to guidelines, requiring officers to follow the "Bihar model" of personally visiting residences. District-level control rooms have been established to monitor compliance and prevent further violations during the second phase of electoral roll revision.
