Claim: Update : The Election Commission of India  has announced assembly general election dates for the states of Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Telangana today. The press release can be downloaded here. The election schedule can be seen in the below tweet. The polling date for Rajasthan has been changed to 25 November 2023 from the earlier 23 November 2023 due to "largescale wedding/social engagement" on that day.
Fact-check: The Election Commission is yet to announce the dates for the five state elections to be held in late 2023 - FACTLY
Verdict: the election commission of india  has begun the election process for the states of mizoram, chhattisgarh, madhya pradesh, rajasthan, and telangana. but the election dates have not been announced yet. the eci gave instructions to the election officials of the states regarding the expiry of the term of the legislature in the respective states, which were misinterpreted as election dates and shared on social media. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
