Maharashtra CM Backs Voter List Revision Amidst SEC's Scheduling Concerns
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has supported calls for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists, acknowledging issues with current rolls ahead of local body polls.

However, the State Election Commission (SEC) has informed the Election Commission of India that an SIR cannot be conducted in Maharashtra until after the delayed local body polls, potentially by January 2026.
