India's two senior deputy election commissioners Dharmendra Sharma and Nitesh Kumar Vyas today held a review meeting with West Bengal's Chief Electoral Officer Aariz Aftab and his deputy of West Bengal on the special summary revision of electoral rolls and poll preparedness for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in the State. Official sources said, the review meeting, the first of this kind for next year's 42-seat parliamentary elections, had a special focus on the revision of the voters' list, the inclusion of names of new voters, the deletion of the names of deceased voters, and the cancellation of the forged EPIC cards.
 
The visiting ECI officials were also expected to get a first-hand report on the security aspects of the forthcoming polls and also to review the recent Dhupguri Assembly poll held on the 5th of September as well as this year's panchayat elections, which were held amid violence and deaths across the State, sources added. The meeting also sought to know the demands of the electronic voting machines as well as the condition of the used EVMS.
