Assam Assembly election 2021 to be held in three phases, poll results on May 2

New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday (February 26, 2021) introduced the polling dates for the Assam meeting elections in a press convention in New Delhi.

The election to the 126-member Assam Assembly will be held in three phases from March 27 because the state Assembly tenure comes to an finish on May 31, 2021.

The first part of election for 47 seats will be held on March 27, second part for 39 seats on April 1 and third part for 40 seats on April 6. 

The poll panel will implement a protocol comparable to that throughout the Bihar Assembly election because it broadcasts poll dates amid a surge in COVID-19 circumstances and elevated safety threat with political temperatures rising in poll-bound states.

The Election Commission held an important assembly on Wednesday to finalise the schedule for the upcoming poll to 4 states (West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala) and one Union Territory (Puducherry).

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi toured Tamil Nadu on Thursday, Home Minister Amit Shah has arrived in poll-bound Assam to evaluate preparations for the upcoming meeting polls in the state. 

The Election Commission on Friday introduced the schedule for meeting polls in Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, West Bengal and Puducherry. The counting of votes for all 5 meeting elections will happen on May 2 stated the Election Commission (EC). 

The phrases of legislative assemblies of 4 states — Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala and West Bengal — are coming to an finish in May and June.
