Two teams formed for smooth management of these two events
The Belagavi district administration is busy preparing for the Legislative Council polls and the winter session of the Legislature that will be held in December. Polling for the Council elections will be held on December 10 and the session is scheduled to begin on December 13.
“We have formed two teams for the smooth management of these two events,” Deputy Commissioner and District Electoral Officer R. Venkatesh Kumar told journalists in Belagavi on Monday.
Teams have been formed for the polls and for accommodation, food, transport, and other arrangements for the winter session. The Deputy Commissioner has also sent a proposal to the Election Commission to shift the counting centre to Chikkodi. “We need to hold counting of votes for both seats, Belagavi and Chikkodi, on December 14. Counting of votes for general elections have been routinely conducted in Chikkodi. The town has all necessary facilities for counting,” he said.
