Pune Municipal Corporation Releases Draft Voter List; Over 1 Lakh Voters in 10 PMC Wards
PMC releases draft electoral register with 35.51 lakh eligible voters; 10 wards cross one-lakh mark and 3,468 cases of double registration flagged.
Pune | November 21, 2025: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has released its draft voter list for the upcoming civic elections, placing a total of 35,51,469 eligible voters across 41 wards. This marks a significant milestone in the pre-election process, particularly as 10 wards have crossed the one-lakh voter mark—an indicator of high-density electoral pockets that will play a decisive role in the upcoming polls. The administration has clarified that the list remains provisional and open for correction, considering ongoing shifts in residential societies and ward boundary adjustments. Municipal staff have been instructed to check entries meticulously to ensure accuracy and prevent misclassification of voters.
Among the wards with the highest voter population, Ward 9 (Sus–Baner–Pashan) tops the list with 1,60,242 registered voters. Close behind is Ward 38 (Balajinagar–Ambegaon–Katraj) with 1,48,769 voters, followed by Ward 41 (Mahamadwadi–Undri) at 1,19,167 and Ward 33 (Shivne–Khadakwasla–Dhayari Part) with 1,14,882 voters. Ward 15 (Manjari Budruk–Keshavnagar–Sadesatranali) also features prominently with 1,11,735 voters. At the opposite end, Ward 39 (Upper Super–Indiranagar) records the lowest turnout with 62,205 voters, underlining the uneven demographic distribution across PMC limits.
An important highlight of the draft list is the identification of 3,468 double-registered voters. These names have been clearly marked, and the municipal team will approach these individuals for declarations to ensure they vote only in one ward. The correction process aims to eliminate duplicate entries and enhance the accuracy of the electoral roll. Authorities have urged citizens to review their details and submit objections if they find errors such as incorrect addresses, duplicate names, or mis-allocations to different wards.
The schedule for objections and final list preparation has been outlined clearly. Residents can file objections until November 27. The final voter list is expected to be published on December 5. From December 8 onwards, ward-wise lists will be made available at respective polling stations, and the final polling-station-wise list will be issued on December 12. These dates form the backbone of the city’s election preparation timeline, ensuring that both voters and officials have sufficient time to correct discrepancies before polling.
With several wards surpassing the one-lakh voter mark, political parties and candidates will face an intensive campaign challenge. Larger wards require broader outreach strategies, more volunteers, and focused engagement to ensure effective contact with the electorate. At the same time, maintaining accuracy in voter rolls will be crucial in ensuring voter trust, smooth polling, and fair election outcomes. The transparent process of inviting objections and eliminating double entries reinforces the administration’s commitment to clean electoral rolls.
As Pune gears up for the municipal elections, the spotlight now remains on how swiftly and efficiently corrections are made in the draft list. A credible voter list forms the foundation of a fair democratic exercise, and PMC’s structured timeline aims to deliver exactly that. Voter participation will depend significantly on how well citizens respond to the objection window and update their details wherever required. The next few weeks will determine the final shape of the electoral landscape in the city.
