With rain playing spoilsport on the last day of poll campaigning for the state Assembly elections, the district administration is not taking any chances with Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) and other election materials. According to the Mumbai suburban district administration, EVMs and other election material was wrapped in plastic during transportation to polling booths and thereafter to strong rooms at designated counting stations for every assembly segment.

Mumbai Suburban Collector, Milind Borikar said, "Plastic will be used to prevent any kind of damage to the election material. We will get only that plastic that is legally allowed for use." Borikar also mentioned that polling stations at open spaces will have waterproof tents and fire extinguishers. There are 72,63,241 eligible voters in the 26 assembly segments in Mumbai's suburbs and 7,397 polling stations have been set up for the process.
