Maharashtra’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has not yet published the list of 1.22 crore voters in the State who were issued notices, as part of the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, for ‘logical discrepancies’ or for being ‘unmapped’ in previous SIRs.

As per the notification issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) for Phase 3 of the SIR, the CEO of every State has been directed to publish on their websites the lists of persons to whom notices were generated for being unmapped or for logical discrepancies.

Asked about the delay, sources in the CEO’s office said that the list is to be published by the EROs (Electoral Registration Officers). “The process of publication is on at their level,” an official said, without giving any stipulated time frame for the publication of the list.
