EC gives six more months to Congress to hold organisational polls

The Election Commission has given six more months to Congress to hold organizational polls. The Commission has extended the deadline till 31st December for the organisational polls. However, it said there will be no further extension beyond December this year.

The poll panel had earlier given an ultimatum to the Congress to complete the



organisational polls by June 30. Congress had written to the poll body asking more time for completing the organisational polls by six more months as there was very little time left to do so. The party had also cited practical problems of updating its membership list to have a proper and meaningful election both at the central and state level.
