The Maharashtra Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Act, 2024, modifies the structure of municipal elections in the state. It specifically amends Section 5 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, 1949, to redefine the composition of electoral wards. Under this new provision, each ward is mandated to elect between three and five Councillors, with a target of four wherever possible. This change directly impacts how citizens cast their ballots, as voters are now entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of Councillors being elected in their specific ward. This ensures a multi-member representation system for municipal governance.
