The Supreme Court of India has granted an extension until December 2026 for Bengaluru civic polls, citing logistical challenges caused by the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The court expressed frustration over repeated delays in holding these local elections.
The Supreme Court allowed separate pleas from the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), and even the Karnataka State Election Commission, to extend the deadline for the conduct of elections to 369 wards across five city corporations in Bengaluru to December 2026.
