The Election Commission of India has postponed bypolls for 14 Assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Punjab from November 13 to November 20. This decision followed requests from multiple political parties, citing festivals such as Kalpathi Rastholsavam, Kartik Purnima, and Prakash Parv, which could reduce voter turnout. Despite the change in polling dates, the counting of votes will proceed on November 23 as planned. A total of 48 Assembly and 2 Parliamentary seats across 15 states will participate in the bypolls, including Kerala's Palakkad and Punjab's Dera Baba Nanak constituencies.
