The six-month cut-off date to carry those 8 bypolls is finishing on September 7 (Representational)
New Delhi:
The Election Fee on Friday mentioned it’ll announce the time table for containing by-elections to meeting and Lok Sabha seats at an “suitable time”.
57 bypolls to 56 meeting seats and one Lok Sabha constituency are due.
However the Fee didn’t specify whether or not the verdict has been taken for all pending by-elections.
This announcement comes after the ballot panel determined to defer 8 bypolls to seven meeting and one Lok Sabha seat bringing up floods and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The six-month cut-off date to carry those 8 bypolls is finishing on September 7.
The remainder 49 bypolls are due after September.
An EC spokesperson tweeted, “A call to carry by-elections in meeting and parliamentary constituencies used to be taken via the Fee after a assessment as of late (on Friday).”
“The time table and so forth. will likely be introduced at an acceptable time,” the spokesperson mentioned with out specifying whether or not the verdict pertained to all 57 bypolls or the 8 deferred because of pandemic and floods.
