Election Commission Extends Maharashtra Voter Roll Deadlines Amid Nationwide Revision
The Election Commission has extended the deadline for claims and objections to Maharashtra's draft electoral rolls to October 12, with notice issuance extended to November 10. This follows ongoing processing of discrepancies affecting over 1.22 crore electors. Nationwide, over 13 crore names were removed during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) across 30 states and UTs. Voters missing from the draft lists can apply for inclusion through continuous updation using prescribed forms, with special enrolment drives and home visits by Booth Level Officers to assist applicants.
