As part of the Assembly General Election 2024, the Election Commission of India facilitated home voting for senior citizens above 85 years and differently-abled voters in Mumbai city district who could not visit polling stations. This initiative, enabled through the submission of Form 12D, allowed eligible voters to exercise their democratic right via a postal polling team.
In Mumbadevi Assembly Constituency, 103 senior citizens and 11 differently-abled voters availed of this facility today. Out of 118 eligible senior citizens and 13 differently-abled voters in the constituency, 114 had submitted Form 12D, making the home voting process a success.
Across the ten constituencies of Mumbai city district, a total of 2,137 senior citizens and 219 differently-abled voters qualified for postal voting. The home voting process for all eligible voters is scheduled to conclude by November 16, 2024.
The Election Commission has expressed appreciation for the smooth execution of this initiative and commended the efforts of the postal polling teams in ensuring inclusivity and accessibility in the electoral process.
