What is SIR West Bengal?
Many peoples are asking – “What is this SIR thing?” So let us explain in simple language. SIR stands for Special Intensive Revision. Every year, the Election Commission updates the voter list – some names are added, some are removed. But SIR is a much more big and detailed process. It is not a simple or regular update. In SIR, the Election Commission sends Booth Level Officers (BLOs) door-to-door to every house to verify voter details.
In West Bengal, this SIR 2026 was done specially because the 2026 Assembly Elections are coming very soon. The voter list had many problems – many dead peoples names were still there, many people had shifted to other places but their names were still in old address, and there were also many duplicate entries. So to clean up all this mess, the Election Commission started this SIR process in all districts of West Bengal.
The Draft List under SIR was first released on 16th December 2025. Around 58 lakh names were deleted from that draft. And then after all verification and review, the SIR Final List 2026 West Bengal with approximately 7.08 Crore voter names was published on 28th February 2026.
