Maharashtra CEO initiates statewide electoral roll revision drive

The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Maharashtra announced the commencement of a comprehensive revision of the state's electoral rolls. The initiative aims to identify and add any eligible voters who may have been omitted in previous updates, while also removing duplicate or ineligible entries. Election officials will coordinate with district collectors and local authorities to conduct door‑to‑door verification and use digital tools to streamline the process. The CEO emphasized that an accurate voter list is essential for free and fair elections, especially ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls. The drive is expected to run for several weeks, covering urban and rural areas across Maharashtra.
