With polling day approaching, officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation are preparing for nearly 72 hours of continuous work from Wednesday morning to Friday night. The civic headquarters witnessed a flurry of meetings and logistical preparations on Tuesday, a day before the final phase of operations begins ahead of the BMC elections scheduled for January 15.

On Wednesday, Electronic Voting Machines will be transported from central godowns to polling centres across the city and secured under lock and key. Election staff will be required to camp at the polling stations once the machines arrive. Mock polling will be conducted on Thursday morning between 5.30 am and 7.30 am, followed by voting later in the day. Vote counting will take place on Friday.
