Maharashtra opposition demands election delay over alleged voter list fraud, which election officials deny.
Maharashtra opposition leaders, including Raj Thackeray and Satish Chavan, have demanded a delay in upcoming local body elections, citing widespread voter list irregularities such as duplicate entries, deceased voters, and fake registrations.
They allege hundreds of thousands of fraudulent entries, particularly in Mumbai and other cities, and call for door-to-door verification.
The State Election Commission and Chief Electoral Officer S Chocklingam deny the claims, stating all changes follow strict legal procedures, are handled by authorized officers, and use a secure system with no political involvement.
Voter lists as of July 1, 2025, are published for public review, with corrections processed via Forms 7 and 8.
The opposition insists the system is compromised and demands a three- to four-month delay to ensure fair elections.
