The Election Commission of India (ECI) is set to announce the schedule for Assembly elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand today at 3 pm. It is also expected that the dates for elections in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been without an elected government since 2018, might be announced. The polls in Jammu and Kashmir are due following a Supreme Court directive to hold elections by September 30.
The announcement will outline the dates for various stages of the electoral process, including nominations, polling days, and the declaration of results. The ECI has recently reviewed poll preparedness in Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana, though it has not yet visited Maharashtra.
