Panjab University Campus Students' Council Elections Scheduled for August 31

Analysed 21 Aug 2026·3 sources analysed·Chandigarh, India·Politics
Panjab University Campus Students' Council Elections Scheduled for August 31PreviousNext

Panjab University will hold its Campus Students' Council elections on August 31, with nomination filing starting August 24 and voting from 9:30 am. The election schedule was moved earlier due to police unavailability during a planned protest. Student groups have expressed concerns over the shortened campaign period, especially with the Rakhi festival on August 28 limiting outreach and potentially affecting voter turnout. Last year's election saw a 58.9% turnout, the lowest in recent years, with major student parties yet to announce candidates for this year.
