The final voters list for the Maharashtra assembly elections will be released on July 31, said V S Sampath, chief election commissioner. Citizens can, however, continue to enroll up to ten days before the last day for filing of nominations for the assembly elections.

 

Sampath along with his deputies and other senior officials was on a two-day visit to the city to review preparations for the state assembly elections that are likely to be held mid-October. Sampath said festivals, examinations and monsoon were cited as difficulties for campaigning by political parties, many of whom asked for a postponement of the elections.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday Sampath said in the summary revision of voters list held in the last one month 19 lakh voters across Maharashtra have been added to the list. The state has 8.06 crore voters on the electoral rolls. Sampath said it was a matter of concern that only 30% of the youth in the 18-19 year age group were enrolled. The gender disparity in Maharashtra was at 5% much higher than that of the all India figure of 2%. Also Read-- Assembly Elections 2014 : Shiv Sena-BJP in battle over one-upmanship

Similarly for defence personnel, local enrollment will be allowed for which the Election Commission will co-ordinated with the Cantonment Board authorities. The Commission will continue to create awareness for Ethical and Informed voting. It also wants to further increase the voting in Mumbai which during the Lok Sabha elections had touched 54% as against 39% in the last Lok Sabha elections.
