Draft reservation list prepared for rural local body elections

The election commission has prepared a draft reservation list for the forthcoming elections to rural local bodies. The draft outlines the reserved and unreserved seats for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and other backward classes across constituencies.

The reservation framework is designed to ensure equitable representation in gram panchayat and block-level elections. States are expected to review the draft and provide feedback before the final notification is issued for the scheduled polling.
