A notice from the Ministry of Home Affairs lowered the number of Municipal Corporation of Delhi wards from 272 to 250, in case you were unaware. There are a total of 250 wards, but 42 of them are set aside for reservations. Polling places have been established at the ward level after the Election Comission nominated Returning Officers and considered the concerns and recommendations of the general public and political parties.

For more than 15 years, the BJP controlled the three former municipal corporations (EDMC, SDMC, NDMC). The government at large took action this year to consolidate the three companies into a single entity called MCD. In the next Delhi municipal election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Aam Aadmi Party (AP) and the Congress are the three most prominent parties.
