Counting of BMC Votes Begins at 10 AM Across 23 Centres in Mumbai with Phased Process

Counting of votes for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections began at 10 am across 23 designated centres in Mumbai, covering 227 wards. The process follows Election Commission guidelines with extensive security, staff deployment, and logistical arrangements to ensure transparency and order. Unlike previous years, counting is conducted in phases, processing two wards at a time, which may delay final results by about an hour. Live updates are available on official websites, while political parties and media observe the process amid some allegations of irregularities during polling.
