The State Election Commission in Bihar on Wednesday announced December 18 and 20 as the new dates for municipal polls, which were initially to be held in October, but got postponed following a Patna High Court order.
The polls will be held in two phases, and counting of votes will take place on December 28 and 30, as per a communication issued by the SEC.
The revised schedule was drawn upon receipt of report, by the urban development department, of a "Dedicated Commission" set up in accordance with the high court order dated October 4, it said.
The court had, in its order, held that quotas for the Extremely Backward Classes in the state's municipal polls were "illegal" since these were not based on report of a Dedicated Commission.
