The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Maharashtra has revealed a stark urban-rural divide in form collection, with urban constituencies in Mumbai, Thane, and Pune reporting significantly higher rates of uncollectible forms compared to rural and tribal areas. The data shows that Bhiwandi East in Thane recorded the highest uncollectible rate at 49.10 per cent, while Colaba in Mumbai had 46.97 per cent uncollectible forms.
In contrast, rural constituencies such as Akole (ST) in Ahmednagar recorded a low uncollectible rate of 6.11 per cent, indicating that more than 90 per cent of forms were digitised. The discrepancies in form collection between urban and rural areas highlight the challenges in ensuring equitable electoral processes across the state.
