The Election Commission of India (ECI) has furnished a breakup of the 91.46 lakh “logical discrepancy” cases identified in the course of “progeny-mapping” during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in West Bengal.

Voters identified as “logical discrepancy” cases are those in whose records unusual family-tree data have been detected during progeny mapping.

Although initially, at the end of the enumeration phase, which was the first stage of the three-stage SIR exercise, the ECI had identified 1.36 crore “logical discrepancy” cases, currently the number has been scaled down to 91.46 lakhs after thorough evaluation of the initial list.

These 91.46 lakhs of “logical discrepancy” cases are in addition to 58.20 lakhs of “excluded voters” and 30 lakhs of “unmapped” voters, that is, voters unable to establish any link with the 2002 voters list either through “self-mapping” or through “progeny-mapping”.
