On October 12, 2026, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced an extension to the deadline for filing claims and objections to Maharashtra's draft electoral rolls, giving citizens until October 26 to correct errors or request inclusion. The final electoral roll, however, remains on schedule for publication on November 16.
The revised timeline applies to the special revision with October 1, 2026, as the qualifying date, allowing additional time for first-time voters and those with incomplete entries to verify their details. The draft voter list was made available on August 31, and the ECI expects the decision to extend the claims and objections period to facilitate accurate voter registration.
Citizens can submit their claims and objections between August 31 and October 26, and the process of addressing these will conclude by November 10, leading to the release of the final electoral roll on November 16. The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer in Maharashtra has encouraged eligible voters to utilize this extended deadline and complete the required formalities before October 26.
