In a key step towards conducting long-pending elections to 29 municipal corporations across Maharashtra, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the state government has issued a notification to finalise ward boundaries, reported the PTI.

According to the notification, the number of corporators to be elected to the BMC has been capped at 227, with each ward in Mumbai electing one corporator. In contrast, other municipal corporations will have four corporators per ward, a number that may vary between three and five, as per the PTI.

The ward delimitation process will proceed with the approval of the State Election Commission (SEC).
