Bar Council of Delhi Sets Voter Eligibility for 2026 Elections

Bar Council of Delhi Sets Voter Eligibility for 2026 Elections

The Bar Council of Delhi has announced who can vote in their upcoming elections.

To vote, you must be a lawyer who was temporarily registered, passed the All India Bar Exam, and submitted a form by November 30, 2025.

Even if your exam results were delayed but you passed later, you can still vote.

The council made this announcement because the court said they had to.

A group of lawyers had asked the court to let them vote, and the court agreed.

The council also had a meeting to discuss these requests.

This is important because it makes sure that the council, which is supposed to stand for fairness and democracy, follows these principles in its own elections.
