In an attempt to bring transgender into mainstream, the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation has planned a special drive to register people from the community on the electoral list. Activists working for their betterment believe this will give the community a voice during elections. The Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) has a population of around 6.5 lakh, and close to 1,000 are from the transgender community. However, most of them are not on the electoral list.

The civic body will conduct the drive from 11 am to 4 pm on November 26 and 27 at Rotary Midtown, Gol Maidan, Ulhasnagar-1. The transgender people can add their names, photos, or make corrections in the electoral list. The UMC will issue voter ID cards based on any residential proof they have, but in case there is none, it will accept the Transgender Certificate and ID card issued by the district collector. For the transgender people, who hardly get any identification document, a voter ID card will provide them with the proof required to gain other important documents.
