The Election Commission of India (ECI) has revised the timeline for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Maharashtra’s electoral rolls, extending the house-to-house verification process by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) until 17 August 2026. The extension provides additional time for voter verification and aims to ensure that the electoral roll includes all eligible voters while removing duplicate, incorrect, or ineligible entries.
Following the extension of the Maharashtra SIR last date, the revised schedule is as follows:
- House-to-house verification by Booth Level Officers (BLOs): Continues till 17 August 2026
- Publication of draft electoral roll: 24 August 2026
- Filing of claims and objections: 24 August to 23 September 2026
- Disposal of claims and objections, including notices and hearings: Till 22 October 2026
- Final electoral roll publication: 27 October 2026
How the Maharashtra SIR Process Works
Booth Level Officer (BLO) Verification
As part of the Maharashtra voter verification drive, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are conducting house-to-house visits across the state. During these visits, eligible voters receive an Enumeration Form, which must be completed with updated information and submitted to the BLO.
The verification process generally covers:
- Voter’s name
- Age and date of birth
- Residential address
- Family details
- Existing electoral roll records
- Eligibility for inclusion in the Maharashtra electoral roll
This door-to-door verification helps the Election Commission update the Maharashtra voter list by adding eligible voters and identifying duplicate, incorrect, or outdated entries.
Online Submission Facility for Maharashtra Voters
Eligible voters can use online facilities provided by the Election Commission for voter-related services and verification.
The online facility allows users to:
- Submit the SIR Enumeration Form online (where available)
- Search and verify voter registration details
- Apply for voter-related services, including corrections and updates to electoral records
Using the online facility can help voters complete the verification process conveniently and avoid delays before the revised Maharashtra voter verification deadline.
What Happens After the Maharashtra SIR Verification Deadline?
Once the BLO verification phase concludes on 17 August 2026, the Election Commission will move to the next stages of the Maharashtra electoral roll revision.
Draft Electoral Roll — 24 August 2026
The EC will publish the draft electoral roll, allowing voters to verify their details before the final list is prepared. Voters should check whether:
- Their name appears correctly
- Their family members are included
- Any eligible voter has been left out
- There are incorrect or duplicate entries
Claims and Objections Period (24 August – 23 September 2026)
During this period, voters can request corrections or raise objections as part of the Maharashtra electoral roll revision.
You can file a claim if:
- Your name is missing
- A family member’s name is missing
- You are eligible to vote but have not been included
You can file an objection if:
- Someone has been wrongly included
- Duplicate voter entries exist
- Personal details are incorrect
The Election Commission will review all claims and objections before publishing the final Maharashtra electoral roll, ensuring that the voter list is accurate and up-to-date.
Final Maharashtra Electoral Roll
After verification of claims and objections, notices, hearings, and disposal of cases, the EC will publish the final electoral roll on 27 October 2026. This final list will be the official electoral roll after the SIR exercise.
What Every Maharashtra Voter Should Do Now
1. Check Your Voter Details
Verify that your name, address, and other details are correct.
2. Respond to the BLO Visit
If a BLO visits your residence, cooperate and provide the required information.
3. Fill the Enumeration Form
Complete and submit the Enumeration Form through the BLO during the verification process or use the official online facility if available.
4. Check the Draft Roll After 24 August
Do not assume your name will automatically remain unchanged. Verify your details once the draft electoral roll is published.
5. Use the Claims Period If Needed
If your name is missing or your details are incorrect, submit a claim or correction before 23 September 2026.
With the Maharashtra SIR last date extended, eligible voters have more time to complete verification and ensure their details are correctly reflected in the final electoral roll.
