ECI likely to publish ‘no-mapping’ voters list alongside ‘logical discrepancies’
The Statesman | 22 January 2026
A day after the Supreme Court directed the Election Commission of India to publish the list of voters in West Bengal with logical discrepancies, there are strong indications that the poll body is likely to make public the list of “no-mapping” or unmapped voters.
Sources in the commission indicated that voters who fall under the categories of “no-mapping” and “logical discrepancies” have already been called for hearings.
Sources pointed out that the Supreme Court’s order specifically mentions the disclosure of the list of voters with “logical discrepancies”.
However, in addition to complying with that direction, the commission has decided to place the “no-mapping” voters’ list in the public domain as well.
According to sources in the Chief Electoral Officer’s (CEO) office, the lists are already available with the district magistrates-cum-district election officers and the electoral registration officers (EROs).
The lists will be published once the commission issues its formal guidelines.
Sources indicated that West Bengal has 31,68,426 no-mapping voters, while 94,49,132 voters have been identified with logical discrepancies.
In total, notices have been issued to nearly 1.40 crore individuals in the state for document verification.
