Officials and staff will check in the ward whether there are duplicate voters by tallying with the photographic voter list. Until December 10, municipal employees and BLOs will not visit anyone's home. Duplicate voters will not be recorded in Annexure 1 until December 10. The polling station-wise list will be announced on December 22.
The opposition parties had raised several questions regarding the draft voter list for the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections. Responding to these questions in the draft voter list, statistics of potential duplicate voters ward-wise have come to light, revealing that there are more than 1.1 million duplicate voters. A total of 11,01,505 duplicate names are present in the list released by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. The S Ward has the highest number of duplicate voters, with statistics showing 69,500 duplicate voters recorded here. On the other hand, the lowest number of duplicate voters is in the B Ward, with 8,398 duplicate voters in B Ward.
For the municipal elections, the date for publishing the voter lists was initially set as 6 November 2025, but it was postponed and published by the Election Commission on 20 November. Essentially, for 13 months you did not publish the voter lists at all, and for the upcoming municipal elections, the list which is most important was published and only 8 days were given to raise objections on it.. What is this? The lists you have published are fundamentally flawed. They do not contain proper information. If political workers are to work on them, the lists you have published are only suitable for reading. Then, to work on them, some technical processing needs to be done which itself takes a few days. Why are these lists not in an editable format in the first place? Many such questions are being raised.
