After SIR in Bengal, the date of publication of the final voter list may be postponed again. The hearing was to end on 7 February and the final list was likely to be published on 14 February, but the Election Commission believes that the list will not be published till 14 February. Due to this, the date of publication of the list may be postponed, but the Election Commission has not yet given any statement as to when the final list will be published.

In case of villages, the list will have to be published in Panchayat Bhawan, Block Office and in case of urban areas, in Ward Office. It should be displayed in such a way that common people can see it. Along with this, documents or objections can be submitted in the Panchayat or Block office.
The Supreme Court says that those who may be affected can submit documents or objections through their authorized representatives. BLO This may be representative. However, there must be a signed permission letter for this. Extra 10 days time will be given from the date of publication of the list in Panchayat or Block office.
