The West Bengal election process faces severe criticism over voter disenfranchisement due to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Millions of names were deleted from electoral rolls through an opaque, tortuous, and exclusionary process, particularly in Muslim-dominated areas. The Election Commission is faulted for adding complexities and burdening voters. The Supreme Court’s intervention was delayed, and its tribunals proved slow and ineffective, restoring minimal names. The author argues both the EC and the Court failed to uphold the right to vote. This raises serious, lingering questions about the fairness of the electoral process long after the results.
