Nearly 1.81 crore voters in Maharashtra have yet to submit their enumeration forms before the August 17 deadline, according to Chief Electoral Officer S. Chockalingam. While 77.77 percent of the state's electorate, or 7,60,98,153 voters, have already completed the process, forms for 1,80,60,697 voters remain uncollected. These uncollected forms belong to voters who are absent, have migrated, are deceased, or have duplicate entries.
The deadline for submitting forms is August 17, with the final electoral roll to be published on October 27. Chockalingam highlighted that urban districts, particularly Thane, Nagpur, Mumbai, Pune, Palghar, and Raigad, have higher pending cases. As of June 18, Maharashtra had 9,78,54,049 registered voters. Voters can still submit late forms without documents, and any false declarations can lead to imprisonment or fines.
