Around seven lakh new voters have been added to the West Bengal electoral rolls ahead of the assembly polls, with the EC yet to disclose the age or gender break-up of this additional electorate, officials said.

Around 3.22 lakh of these new electors will vote in the first phase, while the remaining nearly 3.88 lakh voters will exercise their franchise in the second phase, a senior official of the poll body said on Saturday.
