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 exercise will allow voters to check whether their names are included and submit claims or objections if required.
The development comes amid a high rate of uncollectible enumeration forms reported in several Mumbai and Thane constituencies during the revision exercise, Mid Day reported. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has also approved the rationalisation of polling stations across Mumbai city and suburban districts, with the approval granted on August 24.

Claims And Objections Till September 30
After the draft electoral rolls are published, voters will have one month to submit claims and objections. The submission window will remain open from August 31 to September 30 at the respective assembly constituency offices.
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.
New Voters Turning 18 Can Apply
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. This provides eligible first-time voters with an opportunity to have their names included in the electoral rolls ahead of the publication of the final list.
Voters With Missing Names Can Re-Register
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. Voters who believe their details require correction can also use the claims and objections process during the specified period.
Mumbai Constituencies Record High Uncollectible Rates
The latest constituency-wise data showed that several urban and suburban constituencies recorded high proportions of enumeration forms that could not be collected or digitised. Colaba recorded an uncollectible rate of 46.97 per cent, while Mankhurd Shivajinagar reported 42.31 per cent. Airoli recorded 44.03 per cent, Mumbra-Kalwa 42.92 per cent, and Kalyan West 42.65 per cent.
Malabar Hill recorded an uncollectible rate of 39.02 per cent. The figures have added importance to the draft-roll publication, as voters will have an opportunity to verify their inclusion and raise objections during the designated period.
Polling Stations To Be Rationalised
The Election Commission of India 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.
With the draft rolls due on August 31, voters will now have until September 30 to check their details, submit claims or objections, or apply for registration where their names are missing. The final electoral rolls are scheduled to be published on November 4.
