With the Lok Sabha elections a fortnight away, the Election Commission's preparations are on in full swing. Among the various preparations is roping in volunteers below the age of 18 years from youth organisations like the National Service Scheme (NSS) and the Bharat Scouts and Guide to provide some much-needed help on the voting day in the city.

Across six constituencies in Mumbai, voting will be carried out at 10,447 polling stations. In order to ensure a better voter turnout, the Election Commission is this year focussing on encouraging and aiding people with disabilities and the elderly to come out and vote. Students of NSS and Scouts will help such people reach their polling centres.
