“Polling for all the 36 seats will be held simultaneously on April 9 and counting of votes will be done on April 12,” he said.

As per the earlier notification on February 4, MLC polls were to be conducted in two phases on March 3 for 29 constituencies and for 6 constituencies on March 7.

The commission had to reschedule the MLC polls last month on the request of several political parties that pleaded that it would be better if MLC polls were held after assembly elections were over.
