Zilla Parishad Elections: Dates Expected Today, Code of Conduct Imminent

• Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti election dates are likely to be announced today by the State Election Commission.
• The Supreme Court granted the State Election Commission an additional 15 days for election preparations.
• A press conference will be held today at 4 PM at Sahyadri Guest House in Mumbai for the announcement.
• Elections for Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis with less than 50% reservation will be held in two phases.
• First phase elections are expected in 12 Zilla Parishads and 125 Panchayat Samitis across Konkan, Pune, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Divisions.
