Fresh voting in Falta assembly constituency, West Bengal, is scheduled for May 21 after the Election Commission canceled the previous election held on April 29 due to serious irregularities, including voter intimidation and missing CCTV footage. In response, security measures have been significantly enhanced, with eight Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) personnel deployed at each of the 285 polling booths, doubling the previous presence. Additionally, 35 companies of central forces and 30 quick response teams are on standby to maintain order. The Election Commission has also increased surveillance, installing web cameras in polling booths and considering drone monitoring.

In a notable development, Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate Jahangir Khan has withdrawn from the contest, stating his desire for peace in Falta. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced a special package for the constituency, including job promises for families of BJP workers allegedly killed in violence following the 2021 assembly elections. BJP candidate Debangshu Panda expressed confidence in a significant victory, citing previous irregularities during polling as a reason for the repoll.
