How to add your name or correct voter details

Citizens can use the following forms to submit applications, claims and objections related to the electoral roll:

People with grievances related to the electoral roll or those requiring assistance in filling Form 6 can contact the voter helpline on 1950 during office hours.

They can also approach helpdesks at the offices of the District Election Officer at the district level or the Electoral Registration Officer at the Assembly constituency level.

Details of the helpdesks are available on the Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra website.
