'Zero Tolerance': EC Chief Gyanesh Kumar On Mamata Banerjee's Charge, SIR, West Bengal Polls | LIVE

The Election Commission of India has reviewed preparations for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026 during a two-day visit to the state. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said the Commission held detailed discussions with officials, including booth-level officers, and symbolically distributed EPIC voter cards to new voters. He announced new procedures, including completion of postal ballot counting before the first two rounds of EVM counting and stricter verification using VVPAT if discrepancies arise. Candidates will also have the option to request EVM checks within seven days of counting for a prescribed fee. Kumar said the voter roll revision process is nearly complete and the final electoral roll lists over 6.44 crore eligible voters. The Commission will ensure 100% webcasting at polling stations and urged voters to participate peacefully in the elections across all 294 seats in the state. #westbengal2026 #assemblyelections #eci #evm #vvpat #voterlist #youthvoters #pollpreparedness
