Vice Presidential Polls to Be Held on 9 September, Nominations From 7 August: Election Commission

On Thursday , the Election Commission of India finalised the Electoral College list for the Vice-Presidential Election, 2025.
Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation last week created a rare vacancy in the country's second highest constitutional office.
Following the notification, the list has been frozen per Rule 40 of the 1974 Elections Rules, after being arranged in serial order by state under Article 66.
Next week, the Election Commission of India will announce the election date, which must be held within 60 days of the vacancy and before September 19.
Needing 391 votes to win, the NDA's support from 422 members suggests its nominee has an advantage, and the new Vice President will serve a full five-year term.
