The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections are local body polls held to elect corporators who will govern Mumbai's civic administration for a five-year term, overseeing urban services.
They are crucial because elected corporators oversee essential urban services like water supply, sanitation, road maintenance, public health, and urban planning, directly affecting daily life in Mumbai.
Indian citizens aged 18 years or above, who are registered as voters within a Mumbai municipal ward, are eligible to cast their vote in the BMC elections.
BMC elections are typically held every five years, as mandated by the state election commission, to elect new representatives for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
