Petition, Roll Revision Delay Two Lok Sabha Bypolls

Petition, Roll Revision Delay Two Lok Sabha Bypolls

Three Lok Sabha seats became vacant at different times.

The Election Commission announced an election for only Nagaon.

Basirhat’s election is affected by a court petition challenging the previous winner’s election.

The winner, S. K. Nurul Islam, later died, but the petition is still pending.

The petition includes a request that another candidate could be declared elected.

Shillong’s election is delayed because voter lists in Meghalaya are being revised.

The final voter lists are expected on October 21.

Nagaon voters will vote on October 6, and officials will count the votes on October 9.
