A Lokhandwala resident and businessman, Vinod Choudhary said, "It's really good to see that the election commission has made proper arrangements so that voters including senior citizens don't have to face inconvenience. My experience this time was much better if compared to lok sabha elections. I think people should come out in large numbers and exercise their right."

Vipul Mane, a resident of Dindoshi assembly constituency, said, "This time, I've noticed a significant improvement.

The response from the public has also been positive, with many women voters and senior citizens coming out to cast their votes."
