The Election Commission has informed the Supreme Court that West Bengal's final supplementary list of voters will be published tonight, affecting around 8 lakh voters.
Those whose names do not appear in the list will have to approach tribunals for redressal, but the functioning of these tribunals remains uncertain.
With the first phase of elections in the state scheduled for April 23, the verification process needs to be completed before the rolls are frozen.
Over 60 lakh names were under scrutiny after the final draft rolls were published, and the adjudication is being carried out by judicial officers in compliance with the Supreme Court directions.
The poll official has assured adequate steps to ensure the safety and security of judicial officers engaged in the verification process following an incident in Malda's Kaliachak.
