Assembly Bypolls for 8 Seats Across 7 States, UTs Scheduled for Nov 11 - The Statesman

Bypolls follow vacancies due to deaths, disqualifications, and resignations of MLAs; voting coincides with Bihar elections and counting is set for November 14.

  • On November 11, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said the ECI will hold bypolls in Budgam, Nagrota, Anta, Ghatshila, Jubilee Hills, Tarn Taran, Nuapada and Dampa, with counting on November 14.
  • Vacancies arose from resignations, deaths and a disqualification, including Budgam after Omar Abdullah resigned and Nagrota after BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana died.
  • Rana's 30,472-vote margin in 2024 illustrates the seat's recent history, while final electoral rolls show 20,790 voters including 10,185 women eligible to vote.
  • These bypolls coincide with Bihar's two-phase polls, and the ECI said EVMs with VVPATs will ensure transparent voting on November 11 with counting on November 14.
  • Nomination scrutiny on October 22 and withdrawal by October 24 set the immediate calendar; statutory notification is October 13 and last nomination date October 21, while Dampa constituency involves four contenders for Zoram People's Movement and Mizo National Front .
