Overview
- State Election Commissioner Dinesh Waghmare instructed 29 municipal commissioners to rigorously search for duplicate entries and maintain high vigilance during polling.
- Municipal corporations must publish lists of suspected duplicate voters on notice boards and websites, with flagged names marked by two stars (**).
- Voters identified as potential duplicates must file a prescribed form nominating a single polling station where they will be allowed to vote.
- Those who do not respond before election day may vote only after submitting an undertaking that they have not voted elsewhere and after strict identity verification.
- The rolls will use the Election Commission of India’s Assembly lists as of July 1, 2025, with ward-wise segmentation, after which objections closed on December 3 and final lists are due December 10.
