Maharashtra Publishes Draft Electoral Rolls Excluding Over 2 Crore Voters After SIR
Maharashtra's draft electoral roll for all 288 Assembly constituencies was published following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), including about 7.71 crore voters, or 78.86% of the previous 9.78 crore electorate. Approximately 2.06 crore voters, or 21.14%, were excluded due to reasons such as untraceable addresses, deaths, duplicate registrations, or refusal to submit forms. Voters can verify their inclusion and submit claims or objections until September 30, with final rolls expected by November 4. Major urban districts like Pune, Thane, and Mumbai saw the highest exclusions.
