Ahead of the Panvel Municipal Corporation General Elections 2025–26, the civic body has intensified voter awareness efforts with a series of outreach activities, including a 5-kilometre marathon at Kamothe and the setting up of a model polling station for first-time voters.
Marathon to promote voter participation
The marathon saw enthusiastic participation from around 300 students from KLE College, Kalamboli; Saraswati College of Engineering; and Loknete Ramsheth Thakur Junior College, Kamothe.
The event began with a voter pledge, after which students ran through the area raising slogans such as “My Vote, My Right—Let’s Strengthen Democracy”, highlighting the importance of voter participation.
Senior civic officials, including Deputy Commissioner Dr Vaibhav Vidhate, Public Relations Officer Nitin Sake, Health Department head Anil Kokare, and faculty members from participating institutions, were present at the event.
Model polling station for first-time voters
As part of the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme, an innovative model polling station was also set up at CKT College.
Through student-led demonstrations, the complete election process—from filing nomination forms to vote counting and declaration of results—was presented in a practical and engaging manner for first-time voters.
