Polls for 4 Rajya Sabha seats from J&K and bypoll for 1 from Punjab on October 24
The Election Commission of India has announced that polls for four Rajya Sabha seats from Jammu and Kashmir and a bypoll for one seat from Punjab will take place on October 24, 2025. These elections are significant as they will help decide the representation of the two regions in the Upper House of Parliament. Jammu and Kashmir, which has been under political transition since the abrogation of Article 370, will see a crucial contest to fill the vacant seats. Punjab will also undergo a bypoll after the resignation of a sitting member. The notification for the elections will be issued soon, and nominations are expected to be filed in the coming days. Counting of votes will be conducted on the same day. These elections are likely to influence political equations, particularly with national parties vying for stronger representation in the Rajya Sabha ahead of important legislative sessions.
