The Maharashtra Assembly Election is on 20th November 2024.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has concluded the Lok Sabha Elections, and now the Maharashtra Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) Election is due.

The Maharashtra Assembly Election has been declared. Polling Day is Wednesday, 20th November 2024, and the Code of Conduct has come into effect and Results will be declared on Saturday, 23rd October 2024.

Polling Time is from 7 am to 6 pm.

All Indian Citizens who are 18 years of age (or above), on 1st July 2024 should register themselves as Voters, in case they haven’t already done so, as registration of voters is a continuous process. However, in Maharashtra those Voters who register now, will not have their names appear in the Voter Lists to be used for the Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024.

This also includes Persons with Disabilities, as well as those who are in the category of Third Gender. ECI has made special arrangements for PWDs at the Booth Level including arranging transport facilities.

Voters can use any one of the 12 documents listed as a photo identity proof when you go to cast your vote. To view the list of documents, click here.

To check if your name already appears in the Electoral Roll, there are several ways to do so:

To facilitate voters in knowing the serial number of electoral roll in their polling station, date of poll, time etc., ‘Voter Information Slip’ will be distributed at least 5 days before the date of poll to all enrolled electors, by the District Election Officer. However, Voter Information Slip will not be allowed as proof of identity of voters.
