Following hearings on over 300 suggestions and objections, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday published the final boundaries for electoral wards ahead of the upcoming municipal elections. The lottery for seat reservations will be held by the end of the month.

According to the final chart drawn by the civic body, Mumbai will have a total of 227 electoral wards for the upcoming BMC elections — the same number as in 2017. In the polls, 227 municipal councillors or corporators will be elected to the BMC’s general body. After hearing citizens’ suggestions and objections, changes have been made in six electoral wards in the suburbs, while none have been made in the island city.
