Maharashtra Civic Elections .. Supreme Court by January 2026 but the last time

Last updated: September 16, 2025, 21:57 IST Supreme Court: The Court gave the Maharashtra Election Commission the last defense to hold the local body election by January 2026. The court expressed dissatisfaction and said that the date would not move forward. The Supreme Court is once again in the headings of the local body election of Maharashtra. The State Electoral Commission has requested the Supreme Court to give more time to hold elections. Earlier, the court ordered that the election be completed by October, but the commission said it was not possible in the current situation. Why the date of election had to be increased, the Electoral Commission put many reasons before the court. EVM machines are not available in sufficient numbers. It is difficult to impose employees’ duty during festivals. Meanwhile, students are also being investigated. Not only that, the election process itself is long and complicated, which is not so easy to complete. During the trial of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court expressed dissatisfaction with this. The court questioned why a long time is needed from September to January. The court said the election, regardless of the situation, should have been on time. The court has made it clear that the commission is now having the last chance, and after this time there will be no question of the extension of the date. The order to hold elections by January 2026, the Supreme Court ordered that all the election process be completed by 31 January 2026. That is, not only the vote, but also the results will also have to be explained in the same period. This will include Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti, Nagar Panchayat, Municipality and Municipal Corporation – all types of bodies. The commission’s strategy and a major challenge, the Electoral Commission indicated that Panchayat and Zilla Parishad elections will be held first. Thereafter, the municipality and finally the municipal corporation will turn. The reason is that it is a very difficult task to keep all the bodies together. Although it has long heard the time until January, but such a large number of elections will not be less than a challenge for the Electoral Commission. No more time will be found, the position of the court is very clear this time. The Electoral Commission will have to complete elections by January 2026. If it is delayed for some reason, further pressure on the State Election Commission could increase. In general, these four months are very important for Maharashtra.
