Maharashtra's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will begin on June 30, involving door-to-door verification of nearly 9.86 crore voters by over 1 lakh Booth Level Officers (BLOs). Draft rolls will be published on August 5, with claims and objections accepted until September 4, and final rolls released on October 7. To ensure transparency, deleted voter lists will be shared with political parties and made publicly available, allowing a seven-day window for corrections. Political parties have appointed over 1.13 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) to assist in the process.
