Seat change
Against Maharashtra's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1978), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained54 (19%)
- Changed hands215 (75%)
- New seat19 (7%)
54 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 215 changed hands. 19 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
