The voting took place from 7 am till 6 pm, with 6,869 out of the 10,656 voters of the Ward casting their votes. 

Polling booth No.376 saw the highest number of votes cast (881 votes), while booth No.377 recorded the lowest (351 votes).  

The Congress fielded Rajani Annaiah, a former Corporator, while S. Leelavathi contested as JD(S) candidate and Shobha Ramesh as BJP candidate. 

The counting of votes will take place at Maharaja Sanskrit Pathashala  on Sayyaji Rao Road on Sept.6 and the results will be announced the same day.
