The Election Commission’s draft roll released after Maharashtra’s Statewise Revision shows that more than 2.06 crore voters have been excluded.
The Election Commission of India has published a draft electoral roll for Maharashtra following the recent Statewise Revision (SIR). The draft is part of the routine process to update voter lists ahead of upcoming elections.
According to the draft, over 2.06 crore names have been omitted from the roll. This figure represents a substantial portion of the state's electorate and has drawn attention from political parties and civil‑society groups.
The draft roll will remain open for public inspection for a prescribed period, during which excluded voters can file objections or provide missing documentation. The final roll, incorporating any valid corrections, will be issued before the next electoral cycle.
Authorities have urged eligible voters to verify their details online and submit any required information promptly to avoid disenfranchisement.
