PMC Additional Commissioner Ravindra Binwade informed in a press conference that, “The office recently released the ward wise draft voter list for the Pune Municipal Corporation Elections. Objections and suggestions will be accepted till July 1 on this voter list.

The final voters list will be announced on July 9 after taking action on the objections and suggestions raised by the voters.”
