Election Commission to announce poll dates tomorrow

New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has said that the schedule for the 2024 General elections and some State Assemblies would be announced on Saturday at 3 pm. The ECI will hold a press conference in New Delhi, which will be live-streamed on social media.

The ECI had completed its national survey of poll preparedness in every State, ending its survey with a tour of Jammu and Kashmir this week.

Regional and national parties have already begun announcing their candidates for the elections to the 543 Parliamentary constituencies. The BJP has so far released two lists of 267 candidates for the Lok Sabha polls, while the Congress announced the names of 82 candidates over two lists.

Meanwhile, the ECI on March 14 made public the data on electoral bonds it received from the State Bank of India and has also sought the return of the electoral bonds’ documents handed over to the Supreme Court in sealed cover/sealed boxes.
