  "account": "Maharashtra’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has not yet released the list of 1.22 crore voters who received notices during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The notices were given for being unmapped or having logical discrepancies in previous SIRs. The Election Commission of India (ECI) directed every State CEO to publish the lists on their websites. However, Maharashtra has not complied with this directive, citing a delay. Sources in the CEO’s office stated that the list will be published by the Electoral Registration Officers (EROs). As per the latest figures, 59.75 lakh people are unmapped, while 62.48 lakh have been marked for logical discrepancies, totaling 1.22 crore. Some states like Karnataka, Telangana, and Delhi, with comparatively smaller numbers, have already published their lists. Maharashtra is planning to hold special camps on October 17, 18, 24, and 25 for including or excluding voters. A PIL was filed in the Supreme Court seeking an interim halt to the SIR process in Maharashtra, arguing it was arbitrary and unconstitutional.",
