SC halts EC's voter list revision in 2 states

India Nov 11, 2025

The Supreme Court has temporarily stopped the Election Commission's special revision of voter lists in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal after political parties raised concerns.
The EC now has two weeks to explain its side, following petitions from DMK, CPI(M), Congress (West Bengal), and Trinamool Congress leaders.

Madras, Calcutta HC told to halt related cases

Both the Madras and Calcutta High Courts have also been told to hold off on related cases for now.
The halted revision was set to run from November 4 to December 4 across 12 states, prepping for the 2026 elections.
Draft voter lists were supposed to drop December 9, with final versions due by February 7 next year—though Assam will follow a different schedule.
