Apart from first-time voters who are excited to get inked on October 21, the list of voters includes Colaba resident Dr Hiru Patel, who turned 100 last month, and is also looking forward to cast a vote in the upcoming Assembly elections. Apart from Patel, the Election Commission's data indicates that there are more than 3,000 other voters who are above 100 years old in the Mumbai City district. The district covers 10 constituencies. Based on the data, Colaba has 620 such voters while Malabar Hill has 612. Dharavi has the lowest with 118 such voters. The Suburban District office, however, didn't have the equivalent data. Their data indicates that there are around 1.94 lakh voters who are above the age of 80 years.

Accompanied by his helper, Dr Patel votes regularly as he considers it to be his responsibility to vote for the deserving candidate. "The polling centre is close to my house. I have never faced any trouble. I go with my family and my helper," he said.
