EC orders review of ECINet, extends key deadlines in Delhi, Maharashtra
People issued notices during SIR need not appear for personal hearings, except in exceptional cases, the Election Commission said
The Election Commission has extended the deadlines for filing claims and objections in Delhi and Maharashtra, as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. In Delhi, the deadline has been pushed back to October 30, 2026, from October 30, 2025, and the disposal of notices, claims and objections will be delayed until November 30, 2026.
For Maharashtra, the deadline has been extended to October 12, 2026, and the disposal of notices, claims and objections has been extended to November 10, 2026. Voters who receive notices will have to submit their responses along with required documents to the concerned Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) or Booth Level Officer (BLO).
In Maharashtra, individuals whose names are missing can apply for inclusion by approaching their ERO and submitting Form 6. The final voter list will be released on December 4, 2026, in Delhi and November 4, 2026, in Maharashtra. The Election Commission's move comes after the state's Chief Electoral Officer requested changes to the SIR schedule in Delhi, citing needs arising from the electoral process.
