Maharashtra Electoral Roll Mapping Hits 66%, Cities Lag Rural Districts

Officials await the Election Commission's plan for on-ground verification.

Overview

  • Maharashtra has mapped 6.56 crore of 9.88 crore voters, which the CEO’s office said Tuesday equals 66.42 percent.
  • Gadchiroli leads the state at 90.51 percent completion, and 14 districts fall in the 80 to 90 percent band.
  • Urban hubs such as Mumbai Suburban, Pune and Thane are under 50 percent progress, with Mumbai city at 51.40 percent and Nagpur at 55.57 percent showing wider city lag.
  • Officials say this stage is an electronic match of current rolls to the 2002 voter list, so many newer voters may need to link their entries to parents who were on that 2002 roll.
  • The detailed schedule for the physical Special Intensive Revision has not arrived, and the CEO’s office says it aims to reduce paperwork and confusion until deadlines and proof rules are set.
