The counting of votes will take place in batches, with two constituencies being counted at a time, the officials indicated.

Unlike in 2017, when the counting process was conducted all at once, this year it will be performed in a phased manner across 23 different locations throughout the city and suburbs on January 16.

In Mumbai, each returning officer (RO) has been assigned a minimum of 10 constituencies under his or her administrative jurisdiction. Therefore, at a given time, the counting of votes of two constituencies under a single RO’s jurisdiction will be carried out. Once the counting of these two constituencies is over, the authorities will move on to count votes for the next constituencies.

The officers said that there are more than 20 ROs for Mumbai, and with two constituencies being counted at a given time, it will cover the total of 227 wards.
