If everything goes smoothly according to the plan, the long queues during voting will be a thing of the past in Mumbai. The number of voters at each booth will be limited to 1,250, which is now 1,500. During the Lok Sabha elections, the city experienced significant crowding at polling booths, leading to chaos. In preparation for the state Assembly elections, the Mumbai City Collector and the Mumbai Suburban Collector have capped the number of voters at each booth to 1,250.
Additionally, the number of polling booths at each centre will be adjusted according to the centre`s area. An official noted that this measure aims to alleviate crowding at polling centres and increase voter turnout.
