Mumbai : A special brief verification program is being conducted by Polling Center Level Officers (BLOs) to ensure the accuracy and currency of the voter list. As part of this Revision Program, the Consolidated Form Voter List will be released on July 25, 2024. A special Short Revision Program Campaign will be held in the Mumbai City District on July 27 and 28, 2024, and August 3 and 4, 2024. On these dates, all BLOs will be present at polling stations.

Under the short revision program, voters can register missing names, correct errors, and transfer names in the voter list. These updates can be done online, and a house visit program by BLOs is also planned.
