EC cites rain, festivals & lack of forces to delay Maharashtra polls

The Election Commission announced elections in J&K and Haryana but postponed Maharashtra’s due to heavy rains and upcoming festivals. CEC Rajiv Kumar stated Haryana’s term ends on November 3, 2024, while Maharashtra’s until November 26, 2024. Maharashtra polls are likely after J&K and Haryana elections conclude and might sync with Jharkhand’s.
