The formal process for the elections starts with the Notification or Notifications calling upon the electorate to elect Members of a House. After the issuing of notification, Candidates can start filing their nominations. One Returning Officer will scrutinize the nominations. The validly nominated candidates can withdraw from the contest within two days from the date of scrutiny.
Candidates get at least two weeks for political campaign before the actual date of poll.
A separate date for counting is fixed and the results declared for each constituency by the concerned Returning Officer. The entire process of election will be over only after the compilation of candidates elected by the election commission.
