On the eve of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election, where citizens will exercise their franchise at 2600 spots containing a total of 10,224 polling stations in 227 electoral wards, election staff on Wednesday were busy with last-minute preparations across the city. These included setting up facilities on the premises of outdoor areas for queues of voters and creating dedicated areas for electors in enclosed spaces.
As 702 polling stations are in housing societies, steps have been taken in coordination with their respective secretaries. On Wednesday, BMC officials set up equipment at each polling station. These included an enquiry desk at the entrance to the station alongside security booths. Ballot machines were also brought to these spots, apart from voter lists, stamps, seals, ink, identity badges, and instruction manuals.
