Byelections to 38 local body wards in Keralam on September 28

On September 28, local body wards in Kerala will hold by-elections for the first time since the Congress-led UDF government took office in May, as declared by the State Election Commission. The voting will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the votes being tallied on September 29 across various centers. The election notification is set to be released on Thursday, September 3, according to State Election Commissioner N. Seshadrinathan.

Candidates have until September 10 to file their nominations, which will be scrutinized on September 11. The last date to withdraw nominations is September 14. The announcement of the election date has triggered the Model Code of Conduct, which applies to all grama panchayat wards in the poll-bound districts and block panchayat segments.

For grama panchayats with poll-bound wards, the code applies to the entire panchayat area, while for municipalities, it only covers the poll-bound wards.
