BMC Election Results: Mumbai's 227 Wards to See Phased Vote Counting

• Mumbai Municipal Corporation election results will be declared on January 16, following voting on January 15.
• A new 'five-phase' formula will be used for vote counting for the 227 wards in Mumbai, unlike the simultaneous counting in 2017.
• Counting will occur at 23 centers, with each center counting only two wards at a time, totaling 46 wards simultaneously across Mumbai.
• This phased approach aims for disciplined and smooth counting, but will delay the final results for all wards until evening.
• Political parties and citizens are curious about the staggered result announcements, with some wards declared in the morning and others later.

Why It Matters: Mumbai Municipal Corporation election results will be declared on January 16 using a new five-phase counting method.
