BMC Lottery for Ward Reservations
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has revealed the lottery results for ward reservations ahead of the upcoming municipal elections, scheduled for early next year. The draw commenced at 11 AM at the Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir in Bandra West.
Details of the Upcoming Elections
The municipal elections for BMC will feature a total of 227 members, with 114 seats specifically reserved for women. This reservation is structured to ensure representation across various categories, as mandated by law:
Scheduled Castes (SC): 15 wards, with 8 reserved for women.
Scheduled Tribes (ST): 2 wards, with 1 reserved for women.
Other Backward Classes (OBC): 61 wards, with 31 reserved for women.
General Category: 149 wards, with 74 reserved for women.
This allocation guarantees that 50% of the total seats are reserved for women, promoting gender balance in local governance while also ensuring proportional representation for SC, ST, and OBC communities.
