US EditionGram Panchayat Elections to Be Held in Three Phases From December 11
Elections for 12,728 village panchayats and 1.12 lakh wards will occur in three phases after delays caused by reservation disputes and court interventions, the SEC stated.
- On December 11 the State Election Commissioner Rani Kumudini issued the schedule for three-phase Gram Panchayat polls covering 12,728 village panchayats and 1.12 lakh wards.

- Over 1.66 crore voters will decide candidates on a non-political basis, but elections are not being held for 25 Gram Panchayats in Mangaapet mandal, two in V. Saidapur mandal, and four in Enkoor and Penuballi mandals due to court orders.
- The ruling Congress said it will accommodate BC candidates in general seats after two Bills lacking presidential assent drew Opposition parties and a section of BC communities' criticism.
