Voting is underway for the high-stakes urban local body elections in Maharashta. The counting of votes will take place on December 3. A total of 1,07,03,576 voters, including 53,79,931 males, 53,22,870 females and 775 others, are eligible to cast their votes.
These elections will serve as a crucial benchmark for the Devendra Fadnavis-led Mahayuti government, following the alliance's victory in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly polls.
The elections cover all regions of the state, including Konkan, Nashik, Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Amravati and Nagpur.
Konkan division comprises seven districts, but voting is happening in five of them. Notably, Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban districts were outside the polling schedule for these elections.
