Counting for the biennial elections to 11 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council seats, including five Graduates' and six Teachers' constituencies, is scheduled for October 27. The elections, held on October 23, saw contests mainly between the ruling BJP and the Samajwadi Party, with some independent candidates potentially influencing outcomes. In Bihar, RJD leaders raised concerns about vote counting transparency ahead of their legislative council elections. Election officials in UP are preparing to ensure a smooth, peaceful, and compliant counting process.
