ECI defers Legislative Council polls in Maharashtra due to summer vacations

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday postponed the June 10 biennial elections for four Legislative Council seats in Maharashtra.

The new schedule for elections to fill seats of the Upper House of the state legislature falling vacant in the next few months will be announced later, said an EC statement.

The poll panel took the decision after receiving a representation from teachers requesting it to hold the elections after the summer vacations in schools are over.
