The state election commission decided to have crèches for voters at polling booths, and many were popular in the city and suburbs on voting day. However, voters weren't aware of the service at polling booths at the BMC school on NA Sawant Marg, Colaba. There were no boards informing about the service. Neither police constables nor election staff were aware. The crèche was in a room at the end of a passage.

A voter, Rinky Yadav came with her five-year-old daughter, Siya. Unaware of the crèche, she asked a man present there to look after Siya while she voted. Lavanya Vaidya, another voter, came with her four-year -old daughter Sharanya, as there was nobody at home to take care of the child. Lavanya was amazed when this reporter told her that about the crèche.
