Odisha Panchayat Elections to Proceed on Schedule, State Election Commission Confirms
The State Election Commission of Odisha has clarified that the upcoming three-tier panchayat elections will be conducted as per schedule, following the completion of the five-year term of the existing Panchayati Raj Institutions. The previous rural elections were held in February 2022, and the next round is slated for 2027. Preparations are underway, including the identification of polling stations and securing ballot boxes. This confirmation comes after the Odisha BJP President had previously suggested that elections might be held six months in advance. The announcement has led to political debate, with opposition party BJD criticizing the BJP for discussing constitutional matters within their party office.
