In this news bulletin, author and Mumbaikar Meghna Pant discusses the challenges of voting in Mumbai as turnout figures hover around 57%. Pant argues that low participation is not due to voter apathy but rather a ‘broken’ and ‘inefficient’ administrative system. She states, ‘Low voter turnout in Mumbai is not apathy, it is administrative,’ highlighting the exhaustion caused by long queues and manual voter roll searches. Pant calls for the urgent digitisation of the process, suggesting QR code scans and digital tokens to respect the time of working professionals and caregivers. The discussion also touches upon the need for better voter education regarding local governance, such as the BMC, to engage the youth and Gen Z. Host Sonal and Pant further explore the idea of a candidate-tracking app to provide voters with historical data and performance ratings, aiming for a more accountable and informed voter base in India’s financial capital.
