Bengal polls: 1,468 more names added to electoral rolls ahead of second phase of polling

Appellate tribunals set up as part of the special intensive revision process in West Bengal on Tuesday added 1,468 names back to the electoral rolls, a day ahead of the second phase of the state Assembly election, The Indian Express reported.

The tribunals also said that six names could not be included in the voter lists, according to the newspaper. Out of these, five are Muslims, and one is a Hindu woman, said Kolkata-based research organisation Sabar Institute.

The 1,468 electors added back to the rolls can vote on Wednesday, the Hindustan Times quoted an unidentified Election Commission official as saying.
