ECI urges faster document checks in Bengal SIR

ECI urges faster document checks in Bengal SIR

The Election Commission of India is worried because the process of checking documents from some voters in West Bengal is too slow.

These voters are called 'unmapped' because they couldn't be linked to the old voters' list.

The Commission has asked the local officials to work faster because they need to finish checking all the documents by February 14.

So far, they have checked documents for only a small number of these voters.

The Commission also reminded the officials that only certain documents are allowed as proof of identity.

They are doing this to make sure everyone who should be able to vote can do so.
