The Shivajinagar constituency, a crucial area in the city, has long been known for its dense population and the challenges it poses during elections. The ECI, in collaboration with local authorities, conducted a thorough assessment of the existing polling stations and identified the need for relocation to better accommodate the electorate.
Information
Shivajinagar is a vibrant and diverse area in Pune, home to a significant number of voters. The constituency has seen a steady increase in the number of registered voters over the years, making the management of polling stations more challenging. The old polling booths, often located in small and inadequate spaces, have been a source of concern for both voters and electoral officials.

The ECI has worked closely with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and other local bodies to identify suitable locations for the new booths. These locations include schools, community halls, and other public buildings that can accommodate a large number of voters comfortably.
