In Delhi, the deadline for filing claims and objections has been pushed back to October 30, 2026, with the final voter list release scheduled for December 4. In Maharashtra, the deadline has been extended to October 12, 2026, and the disposal of notices, claims, and objections will now be completed by November 10. The process aims to ensure accuracy in the voter list, with field verification confirming the details of most prominent voters, including politicians and officials, despite the issuance of notices to 33.13 lakh electors due to discrepancies.",
