West Bengal SIR 2026: A Dashboard So You Can Check the Data Yourself


Analysing the demographic, geographic, and economic correlations of electoral contraction and 'under adjudication' or UA deletions.


What this dashboard does:

  1. It gives you the chance to see the number of voters under adjudication, the number of names deleted, the Muslim population, and the number of Scheduled Caste voters in each seat of Bengal. It also shows you what sort of seat you are hovering over – whether rural or urban. The heatmap allows you to compare the extent of deletions and removals.
  2. You can also search individual assemblies to view the details, in a box lower down.
  3. You can observe how draft deletions peak in rural out-migrant assembly constituencies, while Form 7 objections and in-migrant tenant issues spike in urban seats by using the rural-urban distinction filter below.
  4. You can interact with two correlation graphs to gauge how Muslim populations have been brought in 'under adjudication' lists and Scheduled Caste (mostly Matua) populations have fared in 'under adjudication' lists.
