The State Election Commission of Delhi is set to hold by-elections for 12 municipal wards, inviting comments and objections on the draft polling stations list. This initiative is part of the commission's effort to ensure transparency and efficiency in the upcoming electoral process.
The wards under consideration became vacant due to the election of their councillors during the February Assembly polls. Notably, these include prominent regions such as Shalimar Bagh B, once represented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, alongside others like Mundka, Ashok Vihar, and Chandni Chowk.
In preparation, the commission has emphasized adherence to the Delimitation Order of October 2022 and has mandated all polling stations be situated on ground floors with a maximum of 1,500 voters per station. The bypoll dates are expected to be announced shortly.
