Overview
- The State Election Commission approved and published the BMC’s final delimitation restoring 227 wards, with only six wards seeing substantive boundary changes and 307 citizen suggestions incorporated.
- PMC released its final map of 41 wards to elect 165 members after hearings on 5,922 filings, accepting 1,329 suggestions in full and 69 in part, with physical changes in 13 wards and several renamings.
- PCMC published its final 32-ward, 128-corporator structure, accepting objections in Wards 1, 6, 7, 12, 24 and 25 while rejecting 312 of 318 submissions, and it renamed three wards.
- Election authorities now move to ward reservation lotteries and voter roll updates before formal poll notification, with timelines aligned to the Supreme Court’s January 31, 2026 deadline.
- The BMC logged about 492–494 objections, far fewer than in 2017, and its final list cites Census 2011 totals (12.44 million population, including 803,000 SC and 129,000 ST), as opposition leaders in Pune allege political bias in delimitation.
