Maharashtra's SIR Enumeration Concludes with Over 2 Crore Voters in Uncollectable Pool Maharashtra’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) enumeration phase concluded on Monday, marking the end of a critical phase in updating the state’s electoral rolls. As of 9pm on August 17, 78.82% of the state’s 9.78 crore electors had been digitized, while 21.18% were categorized as uncollectable, placing approximately 2.07 crore voters in a pool that may face deletion after verification and due process. These two categories accounted for 99.997% of the state’s electorate at the last official update. The 9pm figures are considered the latest available data for the exercise, which began on June 30. Final consolidated figures will be released by individual districts or state election authorities once the process is complete. Urban areas faced significant challenges during the enumeration. Thane recorded 61.52% digitization with 38.48% uncollectable, Mumbai City had 62.70% digitization and 37.30% uncollectable, Mumbai Suburban saw 65.90% digitization and 34.10% uncollectable, and Pune had 68.34% digitization and 31.65% uncollectable. In contrast, Vidarbha presented a different scenario. Based on district-wise 9pm percentages, the region’s 11 districts collectively had approximately 34.96 lakh electors in the uncollectable pool, which may be deleted from the electoral list. The figure is approximate due to the statewide sheet providing district-wise percentages rounded to two decimal places rather than exact uncollectable numbers. Nagpur stood out as the Vidarbha outlier, with 14.43 lakh electors, or 31.11%, in the uncollectable pool and 68.85% digitization. Amravati followed with around 3.53 lakh (13.86%) uncollectable electors, while Akola had approximately 2.77 lakh (17.36%) probable deletion cases.#maharashtra #special_intensive_revision #mumbai_suburban #state_election_authorities #mumbai_city
