Two Assembly constituencies in Mumbai—172 Anushakti Nagar and 173 Chembur—will follow the ‘green election model’ idea, which includes increasing the vote share by adopting environmental practices to leave zero carbon footprint after the elections are over.

IAS officer Dr Heera Lal Patel, who had successfully implemented the concept of climate mitigation in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, has brought the model here as Election Observer of these two constituencies in Mumbai. Dr Patel had implemented the idea as Returning Officer/District Election Official of Banda city in Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 Lok Sabha election and the Anandpur Sahib Lok Sabha constituency in Punjab in June 2024.
