Haryana is gearing up for municipal elections on May 10, 2024, involving seven municipal bodies, including the corporations of Panchkula, Ambala, and Sonipat. State Election Commissioner Devender Singh Kalyan announced that the counting of votes will take place on May 13. Nominations for candidates will be accepted from April 21 to 25, with election symbols allocated on April 28. The elections will select mayors and ward members in the three corporations, as well as the president and members of the Municipal Council of Rewari and municipal committees in Sampla (Rohtak district), Dharuhera (Rewari district), and Uklana (Hisar district). The reservation draw conducted in January has set aside the Ambala mayoral seat for a backward class woman, while Panchkula and Sonipat remain open to all candidates. In Rewari, the council president's position is reserved for a Scheduled Caste woman, and Uklana's for a general category woman. The last municipal elections in December 2020 saw mixed results for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally Jannayak Janata Party (JJP). The upcoming elections are expected to test the political strength of the BJP, Congress, and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as they prepare for the October 2024 Assembly elections.
