Bengal ASDD voter list online, eligible voters can file Form 6
The Election Commission has made the ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Deceased, Deleted) voter list available online in West Bengal during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Voters whose names were left out can reapply for inclusion by filing Form 6 online or through their Booth Level Officer (BLO).
The list is accessible on the Chief Electoral Officer's website and district election officer sites. BLOs have been directed to compare pre- and post-SIR lists, identify eligible voters, and help them fill Form 6. Each BLO must visit at least 20 to 25 homes weekly, with the process to be completed within a month.
Recognised political parties will also participate through Booth Level Agents (BLA) for verification of names. The final decision on inclusion rests with the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO). The commission will also hold special camps in slums, shelters, labour colonies and areas with homeless and deprived populations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The online publication of the ASDD list addresses a key grievance in Bengal's electoral roll revision, where many voters complained their names were missing. By letting eligible voters file Form 6 again and involving political parties in verification, the commission aims to reduce exclusion errors. The one-month timeline for BLO field visits and the targeted camps for homeless and labour colonies suggest a push for last-mile inclusion. The effectiveness of this process will depend on how many of those listed as ASDD actually apply and how quickly EROs clear the applications.
