MUMBAI: With the BMC elections fast approaching, “the lottery to determine ward reservations for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls will be held on November 11,” the Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC) has said, according to a news report in The Hindu.
In the schedule released late on Wednesday (October 29, 2025), the poll body said the lottery result will be submitted to the SEC for approval. Elections to 29 civic bodies in the State, including the cash-rich 227-member BMC, are to be completed by January 2026.
Citizens will be allowed to submit objections and suggestions to the ward reservations between November 14 and 20.
The BMC commissioner will hear objections and suggestions received between November 21 and 27 and take the final decision. “The final list of ward reservations will be published on November 28,” the SEC said, according to media reports.
All political parties in Maharashtra have already started preparing for the “mother of all polls” with the BMC elections becoming a prestige issue for the BJP in particular.
