The registration window for graduate voters to elect members of the Legislative Council closes in five days, with officials noting a sluggish response.
The state election commission has announced that the enrolment period for graduate voters eligible to elect members of the Legislative Council will end in five days. This deadline applies to all graduates who meet the statutory criteria for the separate MLC electorate.
Officials say the pace of new registrations has been considerably slower than expected, prompting reminders through media briefings and official notices. While the exact number of pending applications has not been disclosed, the commission highlighted that many eligible voters have yet to complete the process.
The commission urges all qualified graduates to submit their applications without further delay, either through the online portal or at designated registration centres. Failure to register before the cut‑off date will render them ineligible to cast a vote in the upcoming MLC elections.
Election authorities have reiterated that the registration system remains operational and that assistance is available for those encountering technical difficulties.
Timely registration is crucial to ensure a representative voter base for the graduate constituency, which plays a distinct role in the composition of state legislative councils across India.
