After nearly two years of delay, the Mumbai University Registered Graduates elections were finally held on Tuesday, amid a backdrop of allegations and counter-allegations among political youth and student wings and a series of court cases. According to data shared by the university, the overall voter turnout across polling centres within its jurisdiction from 9 am to 5 pm was 55 per cent. This year, out of a total of 26,744 registered voters, 13,350—nearly 50 per cent—were declared ineligible. From the remaining 13,394 registered voters, 55 per cent cast their votes on Tuesday.

Student and youth organisations set up voting information booths around polling centres and colleges. These booths provided essential information to voters, including how to vote in preferential order, details about the candidates, and other relevant guidelines. Leaders and office-bearers of student organisations, along with affiliated political party representatives, visited these booths, further energising their workers. Notably, Sena UBT leaders Aaditya Thackeray and MP Anil Desai were seen at the polling station at Kirti M Doongursee College in Dadar, supporting candidate and former Senate member Pradeep Sawant.
