FB-013 · "Detect, delete, deport."

Before West Bengal's 2026 assembly election, the Election Commission removed 91 lakh (9.1 million) voters — 12% of the electorate — through a Special Intensive Revision. A new "logical discrepancy" category, invented specifically for West Bengal, placed Muslims at 65.5% of its hardest-to-restore sub-category despite their 27% population share. The constituency-level adjudication rate for Muslims was 42.2%; for Hindus, 3.5%. BJP won 207 of 294 seats by a 32 lakh vote margin. Appeals exceeded 34 lakh. In 31 constituencies, the deletion count exceeded the BJP margin of victory. The tribunal backlog will take over two years to clear. The Bureau documents the mechanism, the arithmetic, and what happens to deleted voters after election day.
