Election Commission Extends Maharashtra Voter Roll Deadline

The Election Commission in India has given more time to finish checking and updating the voter lists in Maharashtra.

They needed more time because of heavy rains and slow progress in updating the lists.

The new deadline for finishing this work is August 8.

The list of voters will be shown to the public on August 17, and people can make changes or objections until September 16.

The final list will be ready on October 19.

In some places, like Yavatmal and Ratnagiri, they have done a good job updating the lists, but in cities like Mumbai, they are behind.

This is part of a big project to update voter lists in many states.
