New Town Gets 19 New Polling Booths: The electoral landscape in New Town is undergoing a significant change ahead of the upcoming elections. Authorities have increased the number of polling booths by 19, aiming to accommodate a rapidly growing voter base in the Rajarhat–New Town region.
This move comes as part of efforts to make voting more accessible and efficient for residents living in one of Kolkata’s fastest-developing urban zones.
Polling Booths to Be Set Up Inside Residential Complexes
One of the key highlights of this development is the decentralization of polling stations.
- Voters will now be able to cast their votes within major housing complexes
- This reduces the need for long travel distances on polling day
- It is expected to improve voter turnout and convenience
With New Town expanding rapidly, authorities are adapting the election infrastructure to match the evolving urban layout.
Rapid Rise in Voter Population
According to sources, the Rajarhat–New Town area is witnessing a steady increase in voters every month:
- Around 200 to 300 new voters are being added monthly
- This growth is driven by new residential projects and migration
- The area is becoming a major urban hub with rising population density
This consistent rise has made it necessary to expand polling infrastructure well in advance.
