Check Complete Schedule For By-Elections In Odisha, UP, Meghalaya Here

NEW DELHI: The byelection dates for the Jalandhar parliamentary district and the four assemblies of Jharsuguda (Odisha), Chhanbey (Uttar Pradesh), Suar (Uttar Pradesh), and Sohlong (Meghalaya)were declared by the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar on Wednesday.

All byelections will be held on May 10th with voting, and the results will be tallied on May 13th, which also happens to be the day of the Karnataka assembly election. In a press conference, the EC announced that by-elections would be held on May 10 in the Punjabi constituency of 04-Jalandhar, the assembly districts of 07-Jharsuguda, Odisha, 395-Chhanbey, and 34-Suar, as well as the Meghalayan constituency of 23-Sohiong. 

The trial court gave Rahul Gandhi, who was disqualified as a member, one month to submit an appeal, so the Election Commission stated there was no rush to call the Wayanad Lok Sabha byelection. 

According to Rajiv Kumar, chief election commissioner, the election panel has made decisions regarding the vacancies that have existed up until February. The trial court in Surat has given Rahul Gandhi 30 days to seek a judicial remedy for the situation, the CEC announced during a press conference. "We won't rush; we'll wait. There is no rush to complete it before using the specific remedy that the trial court provided. After that, we'll make a decision," Kumar said. 

The Election Commission said on Wednesday that Karnataka's assembly elections will take place on May 10 and that the results will be published on May 13. 

CEC Rajiv Kumar stated during a press conference that the announcement for the 224-member assembly elections will be released on April 13 and that the deadline for submitting candidature papers will be April 20. The last day for withdrawing nominations, he said, would be April 24, and the nomination papers would be examined on April 21.
