Candidates will now be allowed to submit nomination papers till January 30. Scrutiny will be done on January 31 and the last date for withdrawal of candidature is February 2.
Additional Chief Electoral Officer (ACEO) Subhashish Bandopadhyay said that as per schedule, polling in 60 assembly constituencies will be held on February 16 and the counting of votes will take place on March 2.
Altogether 28,13,478 voters are eligible to exercise their democratic right in the upcoming elections. A record 65,044 new voters were included in the final electoral roll.
