Counting of votes for local body elections held in Gujarat will be held today, April 28, with the outcome of one of the largest electoral exercises expected to reflect the general mood of voters ahead of the next year's assembly elections. Polling was conducted in 15 municipal corporations, 84 municipalities, 34 district panchayats, and 260 taluka panchayats covering 9,200 seats. More than 4.18 crore voters were eligible to exercise their franchise.
The elections on Sunday were held under revised norms for Other Backward Classes (OBC) reservations, which required extensive delimitation and ward restructuring in several districts.
Nine newly-created municipal corporations, including Navsari, Gandhidham, Morbi, Vapi, Anand, Nadiad, Mehsana, Porbandar and Surendranagar, voted for the first time.
