The Election Commission of India is set to announce the schedule for assembly elections in Haryana and the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday. The schedule will include dates for filing nominations, polling, and declaration of results. This announcement comes after the Supreme Court's directive to conclude the election process in J&K by September 30, 2024, and the recent review of poll preparations by the poll body in the region. In addition, the schedule for the assembly elections in Maharashtra is also expected to be announced by the election commission soon.
