Odisha Prepares for Urban Local Body Elections

The Odisha State Election Commission (SEC) is getting ready to hold elections in 24 new urban areas by June 2026.

These areas were recently created by the state government.

The SEC is working with the government to make sure everything is ready, like dividing the areas into wards and making voter lists.

They are also preparing for village council elections in early 2027.

The SEC will do a door-to-door survey to update voter information, which might take until April because of census work.

The government and SEC are working together to make sure everything goes smoothly.
