The Mahayuti alliance has begun announcing its candidates, while the Maha Vikas Aghadi is still working on its seat-sharing formula. Despite these announcements, 106 seats remain undecided, and the Mahayuti has yet to disclose its candidates for these constituencies. Discussions are ongoing regarding the finalisation of the remaining candidates. Sources indicate that a second list from the BJP is in preparation and will be announced soon. This election is likely to see a direct contest between the Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi. 

Voting for the 288-member legislative assembly in Maharashtra will be held in a single phase on November 20. Counting will be held on November 23.
