For the first time, the West Bengal State Election Commission has approved the deployment of women polling personnel for the upcoming panchayat polls in the State. This decision has been made due to a shortage of polling personnel. The commission has approved the proposal to engage female polling personnel for polling stations that are to be manned exclusively by women. The election will be held in a single phase on July 8, with vote counting scheduled for July 11. Panchayat polls in West Bengal will witness a fierce contest between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Trinamool Congress. The result of these polls will be seen as a litmus test ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Previously, the West Bengal State Election Commission informed the Supreme Court that the direction for the deployment of central forces in panchayat elections without providing adequate opportunity to the State poll panel is an overstep of the judicial powers of the Calcutta High Court.
