In keeping with its usual trend, Mumbai witnessed almost the same voting percentage as the previous elections. The final voting percentage increased by 2 per cent after recounting, adding postal ballots, and including people who cast their votes after 6 pm on Monday. According to the Election Commission of India, Mumbai recorded a turnout of 52.27 per cent on Monday, which improved to 53.98 per cent after recounting on Tuesday. This is slightly lower than in 2019, when the voting percentage was 55.38. The trend is similar to the last time in many ways, including higher turnout in the North constituency and lower turnout in the South constituency.

In the North constituency, where Congress’s Bhushan Patil and BJP’s Piyush Goyal were the main contestants, 57 per cent of voters turned out to select their candidates, down from 60 per cent in 2019. Similarly, in the South constituency, where Shiv Sena’s Yamini Jadhav and UBT Sena’s Arvind Sawant were in the fray, less than 50 per cent of voters turned out, showing the same apathy from the urban ultra-rich class. Even in earlier elections like 2019 or 2014, this constituency had lower turnout.
