The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on Thursday released the draft ward-wise voter list for the upcoming municipal elections, revealing a massive jump of 9.46 lakh voters since 2017. The total electorate now stands at 35,51,469, compared to 26.07 lakh during the last municipal polls.

However, the increased number is a cause of concern as nearly 3 lakh names in the list have been flagged as duplicates or repeated entries, prompting citizens to closely verify their details before the final roll is published.

Among all 41 wards, Ward 9 Sus–Baner–Pashan has emerged as the largest, with 1,60,241 voters, driven by rapid development and population growth in the area. On the other hand, Ward 39 Upper Indiranagar has only 62,205 voters, the lowest in the city. Read Also Counterculture: In Mar
