Solapur Polling Stations 2026: Where to Vote on January 15 – Complete List for Solapur Elections
The Solapur municipal elections will be held on January 15, 2026, and voters across the district should know their designated polling station before heading out to cast their ballots.
How polling stations are organised in Solapur
Polling stations in Solapur are assigned ward- and booth-wise to ensure accessible voting for residents; each polling station serves a clearly defined set of voters listed on the electoral roll for that booth.
Typical polling-station venues include civic buildings, schools, community halls and other public facilities selected for capacity, accessibility and neutrality.
Finding your polling station
Voters can locate their polling station in several ways: by checking the ward-wise voter lists published by the election authorities, by consulting notices displayed at local ward offices and municipal buildings, or by using any official online polling-station lookup service provided by the State Election Commission or district election office.
Before election day, political parties and civic offices often publish a consolidated list of polling stations for each ward; voters should verify their name, polling-station number and address on the final roll or the polling-station list to avoid confusion on voting day.
Polling-day logistics and timings
Polling stations will open and close at the times announced by the election authorities; voters should arrive within the scheduled hours to ensure they can cast their vote. Standard procedures include identification check, verification of name on the roll, marking of indelible ink and issuance of a ballot or EVM use as applicable.
Arrive early where possible: many polling stations experience peak travel and queuing in the morning and immediately after typical work hours.
What to carry and what to expect at your polling station
Bring a valid photo identity document that is accepted under current election guidelines and, if available, a copy of your entry on the voter list or voter slip issued by the election office. Follow instructions given by polling officers and maintain decorum inside and around the polling premises.
Polling stations are designated as alcohol and campaign-free zones; election officials manage crowd movement and ensure secret-ballot privacy inside voting booths.
Complete list for Solapur – structure and key points
The complete list of polling stations for Solapur is organised by district/ward and polling-station number, with each entry giving the polling-station name and address. The list typically contains the following information for each booth:
- Polling-station number and name
- Address of the polling station (school, hall, ward building, etc.)
- Details of the area or streets covered by the booth
For convenience, voters should note their ward number and polling-station number from the voter list or the published booklet so they can locate the exact entry in the consolidated list quickly.
Accessibility and assistance at polling stations
Polling stations provide arrangements for voters with disabilities, elderly voters and pregnant women; these may include ramps, reserved seating, priority queues and assistance for marking ballots where permitted by law. Voters who require help should inform polling staff; assistants are authorised to help only under regulated conditions to preserve the secrecy of the ballot.
Safety, conduct and observation
Election officials, police and authorized observers are present at polling stations to maintain order and ensure the process follows the rules. Voters must not engage in campaigning, use mobile phones inside voting compartments, or carry materials that might influence others.
If you cannot find your name or polling station
If your name is missing from the roll at your assigned polling station, request the presiding officer to verify details; the election office maintains procedures for identifying and resolving such issues. If relocation or special circumstances apply, contact the local election office in advance for guidance about alternatives such as postal ballot or other provisions if eligible.
