Why will voters cast multiple votes in Maha civic polls, except in BMC?
short by Garima Garg / on Thursday, 15 January, 2026
In Maharashtra civic polls, voters in 28 municipal corporations outside Mumbai are casting multiple votes under the multi-member ward system. Each ward elects three or four corporators, requiring voters to press the EVM button for each seat. Mumbai alone uses the single-member ward system, so each voter casts one vote. Thane, Navi Mumbai, Nashik, and Pune follow the multi-member system.
