The Election Commission of India (ECI) is conducting a special intensive revision of the electoral roll in West Bengal to ensure the voter list is accurate and up-to-date. This process removes duplicate names, adds newly eligible voters, and updates records based on current information.
How to check your name in the West Bengal Voter List:
You can check your voter status online using the official election portal.

3. Select Part Number and Part Name.
4. Fill the captcha and download selected PDFs
Alternatively, you can use the Voter Helpline app to check your name from your phone easily.
Why might your name be missing or deleted?
During the revision, some voters’ names may be removed due to:
1. duplicate entries;
2. moving to a new address without updating information;
3. the voter’s death;

Note that a missing name doesn’t always mean permanent deletion; in many cases, it can be rectified.
