Mumbai’s six constituencies and most others in the metropolitan area will vote on May 20 for the Lok Sabha elections, and polling will be held in seven phases across the country. MMR’s will be the fifth phase, which offers local candidates more time for canvassing.

The schedule for the state’s 48 seats has been split in five phases and the results will be declared on June 4. The previous polls in Maharashtra were held in two phases. Mumbai North, Mumbai North-West, Mumbai North-East, Mumbai North-Central, Mumbai South-Central and adjoining Thane, Palghar, Kalyan, Bhiwandi, along with north Maharashtra’s Nashik, Dindori and Dhule will go to polls on May 20.
