PMC Election Results: Highest 20 Counting Rounds At Dhankawadi–Sahakar Nagar Office; First Results Likely By 11:30 am
Pune, January 12, 2026: The maximum number of vote-counting rounds for the upcoming Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections will be held at the Dhankawadi–Sahakar Nagar regional office, where as many as 20 counting rounds are scheduled. The higher number of rounds is due to the presence of the city’s only five-member ward under this regional office.
In contrast, the Bibwewadi, Kasba Vishrambag, and Kondhwa–Yeolewadi regional offices will each conduct 12 counting rounds, making it likely that results from these areas will be declared earlier.
As each counting round is expected to take around 30 minutes, the first results are likely to be announced around 11:30 am.
Polling for the PMC elections will take place on January 15, while vote counting is scheduled for January 16. A total of 165 corporators will be elected from 41 wards. Of these, 40 wards are four-member wards, while one ward is a five-member ward.
15 Election Officers Appointed
For the smooth conduct of the counting process, 15 election returning officers have been appointed across regional offices. Based on ward-wise counting rounds, the minimum of four rounds will be held in 13 wards, allowing results from these wards to be declared quickly.
In Ward No. 38 (Balajinagar–Ambegaon–Katraj), which is a five-member ward, 10 counting rounds are scheduled, and results from this ward may be delayed.
Under the Kondhwa–Yeolewadi regional office, which includes only two wards—Ward No. 39 (Upper Supper–Indiranagar) and Ward No. 40 (Kondhwa Budruk–Yeolewadi)—a maximum of 12 rounds each will be conducted.
Similarly, Bibwewadi regional office (Wards 20, 21, 26) and Kasba Vishrambagwada regional office (Wards 25, 27, 28) will also have 12 counting rounds each, ensuring faster completion of the counting process in these areas.
Each counting round is expected to take about half an hour. “The first results may be declared by 11:30 am, and the entire vote-counting process is likely to be completed by 3:30 to 4:00 pm.
