The Election Commission of India has announced a modification in the counting date for the legislative assembly elections of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Originally scheduled for June 4, the counting of votes will now take place on June 2, aligning with the term expiration of both state assemblies. This adjustment adheres to constitutional mandates outlined in Article 324 and Section 15 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Parliamentary constituency schedules remain unaffected. The change impacts the assembly polls only, amidst preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections commencing on April 19 and concluding on June 1.
