Voters in the Bhiwandi-Nizampur area will cast their ballots on January 15, 2026; below is a comprehensive guide to finding your polling station, what to expect on voting day, and practical tips to ensure a smooth experience.
How to find your polling station
Every registered voter is assigned a specific polling station based on their address on the electoral roll. To locate your polling station, check the voter slip (if issued) or use the official polling station list maintained by the state election authorities; these lists are arranged by district, ward and polling station number, and can be searched by name or voter ID.
What information appears on the polling station list
Typical entries in the official list include the polling station number, the name and address of the polling place (for example, a school, community hall or municipal building), the polling team’s contact details, and any special instructions such as facilities for persons with disabilities or separate arrangements for elderly voters.
Common polling station types in Bhiwandi
Polling stations in the Bhiwandi area are usually set up in public buildings that can accommodate voter queues and EVM equipment; common venues include:
- Government and municipal schools
- Community and multipurpose halls
- Local administrative offices and civic centers
- Designated accessible locations for voters with mobility needs
Voting day procedures
Polling generally opens in the morning and closes in the evening; voters should confirm exact timings on their voter slip or official notice. On arrival, present valid identification to the polling staff, who will verify your name on the electoral roll and guide you to the correct queue and voting compartment. Voting is conducted using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), and polling officers will provide basic instructions before you cast your vote.
Identification and documents required
Carry any government-recognized photo ID that is accepted for voting—typical options include voter ID, Aadhaar, passport, driving license, or other documents authorized by the election authority. If you have an official voter slip, bring it; while not always mandatory, it helps speed up verification and can show your assigned polling station and serial number on the roll.
Facilities and assistance at polling stations
Most polling stations provide basic facilities such as separate queues for women and senior citizens, ramps or ground-floor polling rooms for wheelchair access, and staff designated to assist people with disabilities. If you need assistance to mark the ballot, you may request help from polling officials or bring a companion, subject to the election rules in force.
Security and conduct
Polling stations are monitored by election officials and security personnel to ensure order and impartiality. Campaigning and display of party symbols or literature are not allowed within the prohibited area around the polling station; maintain decorum, follow instructions from polling staff, and avoid taking photographs inside voting booths unless expressly permitted by the rules.
If you’re at the wrong polling station
If you arrive at a polling station and your name is not found on that roll, do not leave in alarm—verify the ward and polling station number printed on your voter slip or check with the presiding officer. In some situations, alternate arrangements such as nearby auxiliary polling stations or guidance to the correct location will be provided.
Advance planning tips
- Locate your polling station in advance using the official polling station list or your voter slip.
- Check acceptable photo ID options and carry one with you.
- Plan travel and timing to avoid peak hours; early morning and late afternoon often have shorter queues.
- If you require mobility or language assistance, contact your local election office ahead of voting day.
- Keep your voter slip and any other election communication in a safe place and bring them on the day.
