Mumbai: With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections scheduled for January 15, the State Election Commission of Maharashtra (SEC) and the BMC urged citizens to ensure their names are correctly registered in the electoral rolls. As Mumbai prepares to elect representatives for its 227 wards, checking your voter status is a critical first step for every eligible citizen.
To streamline the process, the SEC provided a dedicated digital portal for local body elections. Below is the official step-by-step guide to verifying your name on the voter list via the BMC and SEC websites.
How to Check Your Name Online
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Access the State Election Commission of Maharashtra voter search portal at mahasecvoterlist.in or navigate through the 'Election' section on the official BMC website (mcgm.gov.in).

Step 3: Enter Your Details
If searching by name, ensure you select the correct District (Mumbai City or Mumbai Suburban) and your specific Assembly Constituency. Entering your father’s or spouse’s name can help narrow down results if you have a common name.

Step 4: Verify Ward & Polling Station
Once your name appears, the system will display your:
- Voter Serial Number
- Ward Number
- Polling Station Location (including the specific room or building)
Step 5: Download the Information
It is highly recommended to take a screenshot or print the Voter Slip. While this slip is not a stand-alone identity proof for voting, it speeds up the process at the polling booth.

If you encounter discrepancies or cannot find your name, you can contact the BMC election helplines:
- Central Helpline: 1916
- BMC Election Cell: 022-22754028 / 9619512847
Why It Matters
The 2026 civic polls are among the most anticipated in recent history, following a long period of administration by a state-appointed official. Checking your name early ensures that you are not turned away on January 15 due to clerical errors or ward boundary changes.
