Polling is underway across West Bengal with voter turnout steadily rising, crossing 20% in the early hours. Voting is being conducted across 152 constituencies and nearly 44,000 polling booths under tight security arrangements.

The Election Commission of India has implemented extensive measures, including webcasting of polling stations and real-time monitoring through an integrated command and control centre.

Authorities say the electoral roll has undergone a thorough revision, aiming to ensure a cleaner and more transparent voting process. Despite concerns due to past incidents, polling has remained largely peaceful with only minor, isolated disruptions reported so far.

Large numbers of voters, especially women, are turning out enthusiastically, aided by relatively favourable weather conditions. Security forces remain on high alert to ensure smooth and fair elections.
