Assembly Elections 2012
Electoral Process in India takes at least a month for state assembly elections with the duration increasing further for the General Elections. Publishing of electoral rolls is a key process that happens before the elections and is vital for the conduct of elections in India.
The Indian Constitution sets the eligibility of an individual for voting. Any person who is a citizen of India and above 18 years of age is eligible to enroll as a voter in the electoral rolls. It is the responsibility of the eligible voters to enroll their names. Normally, voter registrations are allowed latest one week prior to the last date for nomination of candidates.
Election Commission of India (ECI) has conducted Assembly elections for 2012 in Manipur, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Goa.
The Assembly elections of 2012 are very important for the government at the center as it may win some and loose some changing the balance of equation in favourr or against it. Early leads showed that the congress were the biggest losers and the markets saw a fall in opening. But as more and more leads come in and also results we see that the Congress may yet save some face and even perhaps support some state governments.
