As per the demand from the voters, the polls will be held on the ground floor of all the polling booths in the city and suburbs. The state assembly polls are scheduled on Monday and all 2398 booths in the city and 7397 booths in the suburbs will be held on the ground floor of the buildings enlisted at polling booths.

The Election Commission has decided to ask the local authorities to provide facilities to arrange all the polling booths at the ground floor. It is difficult to adjust all the booths on the same level considering the huge number of voters in coming to cast their votes. In south Mumbai itself, there were more than 700 out of two thousand booths were on either first or the second floor during Loksabha elections. Though the officials were trying hard they were not getting enough numbers of ground floor rooms where the polling booth can be arranged. "But now we manage all the booths on the ground level," said a public relations officer.
