What Happened
In West Bengal, 34 lakh voter appeals await tribunal review after electoral roll deletions. Applicants cite lack of notice, inadequate hearings, and unexamined documents as grounds for appeal. The Election Commission processed only 650 cases, reinstating 139 voters before polling. Many deleted voters claim submitted citizenship documents weren't presented to judicial officers adjudicating their eligibility.
