Election authorities issue notifications for indirect polls to select leadership for local bodies in the state. The schedule covers elections to 659 MPPs on 19 November and to 28 ZPP chairpersons on 20 November.
Across the two reports, the Election Commission/SEC frames the process as part of a wider sequence leading to ZP and MPP leadership. The Hindu additionally highlights that co-opted minority members are to be elected first, before the leadership polls proceed. Times of India focuses on the issuance of the notification and the dates for MPP and ZPP leadership elections, without adding further procedural detail.
