UP Civic Polls 2017 : Election verdict will be out on this date
As per the election schedule, In Uthar Pradesh 24 districts will go to polls on November 22, while 25 districts on November 26, and 26 districts on November 29. More than 3.32 crore voters will be eligible to cast their ballots at 36,269 polling booths and 11,389 polling stations.
UP is witnessing three-phase civic polls from November 22, making it the first electoral examination for the ruling BJP, which stormed to power in the assembly elections earlier this year with a massive mandate.
These polls, being held eight months after the BJP came to power with a landslide victory, will mark the first electoral test for the Yogi Adityanath government.
Reportedly, the civic polls would indicate whether 45-year-old priest-politician Yogi Adityanath has been able to maintain BJP’s popularity wave which saw the saffron party storm to power in the state earlier this year by beating incumbent Samajwadi Party government.
The BJP has traditionally been strong in the urban constituencies, the acid test for Adityanath would be to match the performance of the assembly elections.
Counting of votes polled for 16 nagar nigams, 198 nagar palika parishads and 438 nagar panchayats will be done on December 1.
