Ranchi: The Jharkhand Assembly elections are set to take place in two phases on November 13 and November 20, with results on November 23. The current assembly term ends on January 5, 2024.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar announced that voters aged 85 and older can utilize a home voting option by submitting a 12D form, with video recordings of the process to ensure transparency. Additionally, candidates with criminal backgrounds must disclose their legal issues in local newspapers.
A total of 2.60 crore voters will cast their votes across 29,562 booths, including 5,042 in urban areas and 24,520 in rural regions. Each booth is expected to serve an average of 881 voters, with 1,271 booths managed by women.
In the previous assembly elections in 2019, the Grand Alliance of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Congress, and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) secured 47 out of 81 seats, while the BJP won only 25. Hemant Soren became Chief Minister after this election, but he faced challenges, including a resignation amid a land scam investigation. He later returned to office after receiving bail.
