The state election commission is expected to announce polling dates today. The code of conduct could be imposed in the state as early as today.

Earlier on Friday, the state election commission issued a notice about the upcoming urban local body elections in the state. In a notification, the commission capped the expenditure limits for candidates contesting civic body elections.

The commission also stated that elections will be held for 14,684 seats in the state's 760 urban local bodies. The election will be held for 17 mayor seats, 1,420 corporator seats, 199 nagar palika parishad chairperson seats, 5,327 nagar palika parishad member seats, 544 nagar panchayat chairperson seats, and 7,178 nagar panchayat member seats.

"According to the final data received by the commission following voter list revision, a total of 96,36,280 new voters were added this time," Kumar said. He stated that the inclusion of a large number of rural areas into nagar nigams, nagar palikas, and nagar panchayats was the primary reason for this increase.

"As many as 21,23,268 of the total new voters were previously village residents before relocating to cities," he clarified. He said that 4,33,088 of the voters were first-time voters who turned 18 on January 1, 2023.
