SRINAGAR: The Election Commission of India on Monday announced the schedule for by-elections to the Budgam and Nagrota assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir, alongside the Bihar Assembly election 2025.
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, addressing a press conference, said that polling for the two Jammu and Kashmir seats will be held on November 11, with counting scheduled for November 14.
The poll body also released the schedule for the Bihar election 2025 and by-elections to several other constituencies across states.
The Budgam seat fell vacant after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah retained Ganderbal, which he also won in last year’s Assembly election.
The Nagrota seat became vacant following the death of BJP leader Devender Singh Rana on October 31 last year, shortly after the Assembly results were declared in Jammu and Kashmir.
