Election Commission extends deadline for Bengal SIR hearings to February 14

The Election Commission of India has extended the deadline for the hearing of claims and objections related to the Special Summary Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in West Bengal to February 14, 2023. This extension comes after a Supreme Court order and a request from the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal, citing pending hearings, scrutiny, and digitization work. The final electoral rolls will be published on February 28, 2023. This is a significant development as it ensures the completion of the SIR process and the publication of the final electoral rolls, which is crucial for the upcoming elections in the state.
