The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has expedited the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, with draft voter lists for all assembly constituencies in Mumbai set to be published on August 31. The development comes amid a high rate of uncollectible enumeration forms reported in several Mumbai and Thane constituencies during the revision exercise.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has also approved the rationalisation of polling stations across Mumbai city and suburban districts. The approval was granted on August 24, following the revised schedule for the Special Intensive Revision received from the ECI on August 19.
After the draft electoral rolls are published, voters can submit claims and objections at the respective assembly constituency offices between August 31 and September 30.
The BMC has published the list of addresses of assembly constituency-wise offices on its official website under New > Special Intensive Revision Programme - 2026 > Claims and Objections > Assembly Constituency-wise Office Address List.
From August 31 to October 29, unmapped voters, voters with anomalies and those who have filed claims and objections will be issued notices by the respective Electoral Registration Officer's office. Their claims and objections will be disposed of following hearings.
The final electoral rolls will be published on November 4.
Those who will turn 18 on October 1, 2026, will have an opportunity to register their names in the electoral rolls.
They can submit Form 6, the application form for new voters, along with the required documents between August 31 and September 30.
Voters whose names are not included in the draft electoral rolls or who have been deleted from the electoral rolls can also apply for registration between August 31 and September 30.
Such voters will have to submit Form 6 along with the required documents to have their names added to the electoral rolls.
