How to Check Your Name in Maharashtra’s Draft Voter List 2026 With Just an SMS

The Election Commission of India (ECI) published the draft electoral rolls for all 288 Assembly constituencies in Maharashtra on August 31, 2026, under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR-2026) campaign.

Out of 9.78 crore registered voters in the state, around 7.71 crore (78.86%) have been included in the current draft list. Over 2.06 crore voters (21.14%) could not be included, mainly due to unreceived enumeration forms, shifted addresses, missing details, duplicates, or deceased voters.
