Maharashtra CEO Clarifies Draft SIR Electoral Roll and Voter Verification Process
The Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer clarified that the draft electoral roll published under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 is preliminary and should not be compared with previous final lists, as the revision process is ongoing. About 1.22 crore voters in the draft roll face record inconsistencies and will receive notices for verification. Voters can respond to discrepancies before final inclusion. The CEO urged patience until the final roll is published, expected by early November.
