The State Election Commission of Maharashtra has released a draft SIR electoral roll; voters who find their names missing are advised to submit correction applications within the stipulated deadline.
Maharashtra's State Election Commission (SEC) has published the draft Summary Revision of Electoral Roll (SIR) for the upcoming local body elections. The draft, made available on the SEC website, lists all registered voters in the state and serves as a preliminary verification tool before the final roll is frozen.
Voters who discover that their names are absent or contain errors are instructed to file a correction application. The process involves downloading the prescribed form from the SEC portal, filling in personal details, attaching proof of identity and residence, and submitting the form at the nearest SEC office or designated Common Service Centre.
The SEC has set a clear deadline for all objections, after which the roll will be finalized and used for voter registration cards. Applicants are urged to act promptly, as late submissions may not be entertained.
Election officials have emphasized that the correction mechanism is free of charge and that multiple submissions for the same issue will be rejected. The commission will publish a consolidated list of accepted corrections before the final roll is issued.
