SIR Adjudication & Tribunal Appeals Report

Appeals against exclusion and inclusion across all 294 assemblies of West Bengal

Appeals against inclusion: ECI and third-party appeals against voters included after adjudication

These voters were found eligible by the adjudicating judicial officers during SIR 2026, were included in the e-roll and voted in the 2026 assembly election, but the ECI or a third party then filed an appeal in the SIR Tribunal to remove them. For disposed appeals the outcome is unknown; the data shows how many were filed, pending and disposed.

Before 18 September 2026 Civic Research Group checked a few appeals against inclusion; in almost all of them the appeal had been submitted by the “Addl CEO”. After 18 September the ECI’s mandatory OTP stripped that detail and made independent verification very hard.

Official AC-wise figures (electors under adjudication, found eligible, found not eligible): provided by the ECI in reply to an RTI application by Shri Isha Khan Choudhury, Member of Parliament, Dakshin Malda, dated 17/08/2026, vide memo no. 8551-Home(Elec).

Appeals against inclusion: our data covers 32,53,401 voters included in the e-roll after adjudication in West Bengal (of 32,77,360 found eligible). The ECI or a third party filed appeals in the SIR Tribunal against 16,08,175 of them: 15,26,933 pending and 81,242 disposed by the Tribunal (outcome unknown). 16,45,226 have no appeal filed.
