India Prepares for Busy Election Schedule in 2026 and Late 2025

India is getting ready for a lot of elections!

Many states will vote to choose their leaders in 2026.

These states include Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry.

Also, some special elections, called by-elections, will happen because some people who were leaders have passed away.

These by-elections will fill their empty seats in places like Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Manipur, and Nagaland.

Before the big state elections, many places will have local elections in December 2025.

This includes elections for city councils and village areas in Maharashtra, Kerala, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh.

These local votes can sometimes give an idea of how people might vote in the bigger state elections.
