Polling for the 288-member assembly will be held in a single-phase on October 21, announced Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora, further stating that the results will be declared on October 24.

In the 2014 Maharashtra assembly elections, the state witnessed an unprecedented rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The saffron party, till that year, was at the fourth position in terms of electoral strength. However, it emerged as the single-largest party (122 seats) in the assembly following the 2014 assembly polls, falling barely 20 seats short of the halfway-majority mark.

The Shiv Sena (63) had  emerged as a distant second and agreed to ally with the BJP in a post-poll pact, citing the larger cause of Hindutva. Meanwhile, the erstwhile ruling parties of Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) suffered a rout, being restricted to 42 and 41 seats respectively.

Ahead of the 2014 polls, all four major parties - Shiv Sena, BJP, Congress and NCP - had contested without a pre-poll pact. However, the Congress and NCP have now agreed to seal an alliance ahead of the upcoming elections, with both parties deciding to contest on 125 seats each, while leaving 38 constituencies for the smaller allies. The Shiv Sena and BJP, who had also agreed to contest the polls in an alliance, are currently at loggerheads over the seat-sharing ratio. While Sena has sought an equal division of seats, BJP insiders have revealed that the party is not in favour of fielding candidates in less than 153 constituencies.
