Maharashtra voters are getting ready to cast their ballots for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election. Before heading out to vote, they need to know their exact polling booth location. This information is crucial for a smooth voting experience.
How to Check Polling Booth Location Online
Voters can easily find their polling booth online using their EPIC number or full name. The Maharashtra State Election Commission provides a simple portal for this purpose. The process takes just a few minutes to complete.
Step-by-Step Guide

- You will reach the dedicated voter list website at mahasecvoterlist.in.

Voters can also use the Election Commission's Voter Helpline App for the same information. The app provides polling booth location and voter slip details. You can download it from eci.gov.in/voter-helpline-app.
What to Bring to the Polling Station
After confirming your name on the electoral roll and polling booth location, carry a valid photo identity document. This can be Aadhaar card, PAN card or passport. While the voter slip is not mandatory, it helps polling staff locate names faster. This reduces waiting time at the polling station.
Why This Matters Now
This information is particularly important as Maharashtra goes to polls for 29 municipal corporations. Voting is scheduled from 7.30 am to 5.30 pm on January 15. Election authorities urge voters to verify their details in advance for a smooth voting process.

Extensive security arrangements are in place for peaceful polling and counting. Thousands of police personnel have been deployed across polling stations. Voters should complete their booth verification early to avoid last-minute confusion.
