Maharashtra is gearing up for a high-stakes electoral battle as all 288 assembly constituencies go to polls in a single phase on November 20, 2024. Voting will take place from 7 am to 6 pm, and a dry day will be observed across the state on election day.
The election is a contest between the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The Mahayuti coalition comprises the BJP, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP, while the MVA features the Congress, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT), and Sharad Pawar’s NCP faction.
Exit poll predictions will be broadcast after voting concludes at 6:30 pm on November 20, adhering to the Election Commission’s guidelines. Votes will be counted on November 23, 2024, with results expected later that day.
Election Campaign Highlights
The election campaign concluded on November 18, with both alliances heavily promoting their agendas. The BJP-led Mahayuti emphasized welfare schemes like ‘Majhi Ladki Bahin’ for women, while the opposition MVA focused on social justice, caste-based census, and constitutional protection. The BJP also launched advertisements targeting the MVA, referencing events like the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and the Palghar lynching.
Polarizing slogans and sharp accusations marked the campaign, with the BJP’s “Batenge toh katenge” slogan drawing criticism from the MVA for allegedly dividing voters along religious lines.
Contesting Parties and Seat Distribution
Mahayuti Alliance: BJP (149 seats), Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) (81), NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) (59).
MVA Alliance: Congress (101 seats), Shiv Sena (UBT) (95), NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) (86).
Other parties, like the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), are also contesting in few constituencies.
Voter Statistics
The number of voters in Maharashtra has increased to 96.37 million, up from 89.4 million in 2019, due to special enrolment drives. The state has over 2 million first-time voters aged 18-19 and 47,716 centenarians. To accommodate the growing electorate, the number of polling booths has also risen to 100,186, compared to 96,654 in 2019.
Poll Code Violations and Seizures
Strict enforcement of the election code of conduct has led to the seizure of over ₹660 crore worth of illegal cash, liquor, drugs, and freebies in Maharashtra. Over 4,000 complaints of poll code violations were registered, with many addressed through the Election Commission’s C-Vigil app.
A Divisive Political Landscape
Since the last elections in 2019, Maharashtra’s political scene has witnessed significant upheavals, including splits within the Shiv Sena and NCP. The Mahayuti government is led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde with Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis. The election will test the strength of these new alliances and reshape Maharashtra’s political future.
The stage is set for an intense electoral battle, with results to reveal whether the Mahayuti retains power or the MVA makes a comeback.

On the alleged ‘cash for vote’ controversy involving BJP’s Vinod Tawde and the audio clips of NCP-SCP’s Supriya Sule and Congress’ Nana Patole, Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis stated, “Regarding Vinod Tawde, I clarified yesterday that neither did he distribute any money nor was any money found with him. This was a deliberate attempt to create controversy, using a particular ecosystem. As for the allegations against Supriya Sule and Nana Patole, the accusations made by a former IPS officer and the release of certain clips are very serious. This matter requires thorough investigation. The truth must come out. These are grave allegations, and it is crucial that this be fully investigated and a fair report be presented to the public. The voice in the clips appears to be similar to Supriya Sule’s, but we must be fair and allow clarity. If the voice has been doctored, AI can help identify that, and we hope it is done quickly. This is not merely an election issue; it concerns national security.”
Fadnavis also urged citizens to vote, saying, “We are witnessing the biggest festival of democracy. I have cast my vote along with my family, and I urge everyone to vote in large numbers. Voting is not only our right, but our responsibility. In a democracy, we elect the government and hold certain expectations from them, so voting is of utmost importance.”

Our legal team will handle this matter, and once our government is in place, we will teach this dishonest BJP a lesson in a very systematic manner.”
