Overview of Jalna Municipal Elections
Jalna, an assembly constituency in Jalna district, Maharashtra, is among the 29 municipal corporations heading to polls. These elections follow Supreme Court directives to complete local body polls by January 31, 2026. The Model Code of Conduct is already in effect across all concerned areas. Jalna joins other corporations like Mumbai, Thane, and Pune in this statewide exercise, covering a total of 2,869 seats.
For Jalna, voting will occur under the multi-member ward system, where wards elect multiple councillors. This differs from Mumbai’s single-member ward approach. The elections emphasize accessibility, with special facilities for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, and voters with infants, including ramps, wheelchairs, water, and sanitation. ‘Pink booths’ staffed entirely by women will be set up in high female turnout areas.
