Mumbai, September 3, 2026: The BMC has issued a strong appeal to political parties to actively engage with voters and encourage them to complete the necessary documentation for inclusion in the electoral rolls under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)-2026.
This appeal comes in the wake of the revelation that 36 lakh voter names have been removed from Mumbai's electoral rolls as part of the ongoing revision process.
BMC Reviews SIR Progress
Municipal Commissioner and District Election Officer Ashwini Bhide convened a meeting with representatives of various political parties at the BMC headquarters on Thursday to review the progress of the SIR process in Mumbai.
During this session, a detailed presentation was provided to the party representatives outlining the current status of activities related to SIR-2026, including household visits by Booth Level Officers (BLOs), distribution of count sheets, data collection and digitisation, publication of preliminary voter lists, and the official approval of polling stations by the Election Commission.
The process of claims and objections is currently underway from August 31 to September 30, 2026. Following this, claims and objections will be examined and resolved from August 31 to October 29, 2026. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4, 2026, after all objections are addressed.
