New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): The Election Commission of India has officially rolled out the schedule for by-elections in five important assembly constituencies located in Gujarat, Kerala, Punjab, and West Bengal. Voters will head to the polls on June 19, with the counting of votes set for June 23. These seats became vacant due to resignations or the sad passing of current MLAs, creating the need for new elections.

Here’s a quick look at the constituencies heading to the polls:

Gujarat: Kadi and Visavadar

Kerala: Nilambur

Punjab: Ludhiana

West Bengal: Kaliaganj

The bypolls are expected to serve as a litmus test for both ruling and opposition parties, offering a glimpse into the shifting political winds ahead of larger electoral battles.
