A colour-coding system was implemented at polling centre no. 178 in Dharavi to help voters locate their stations easily. Red, purple, sky blue, pink and green carpets were laid between the entrance of the centre and the polling stations within. The Election Commission of India (ECI) is considering implementing the concept, which was initially introduced in the area during the Lok Sabha election, in future elections.

The ECI had distributed slips with QR codes to voters’ homes. On the back of them, instructions were printed as well as the colour assigned to the voters’ polling stations, indicating that they follow the corresponding coloured carpet to reach their destination. NCC cadets were deployed at the entrance to assist voters with directions.
