As per the Panchayats Department, there are 14,017 gram panchayats in the state while the total number of villages in is 18,584. Tenure of 10,318 panchayats is ending in January 2021
Now, the elections for civic bodies of Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Jamnagar and Bhavnagar and the district panchayats will be held in 2021.
Even after three months, the Commission would review the situation and will decide whether to further delay the polls or hold them.
According to sources, the government is likely to appoint administrators for the local bodies once the term of their elected wings is over.
“It is not possible to hold the local elections because the entire machinery is involved in handling the pandemic,” a State government official said.
Gram panchayat elections are not fought on party symbols. Each voter is required to cast two votes, one for Sarpanch’s post and another for electing panchayat member from his/her ward.
According to Sinha, the total number of registered voters for these polls is over 1.89 crore, including 90.82 lakh women. Polling will be held at 25,454 booths in 91,002 wards.
Ballot boxes will be used instead of EVMs, he said, adding, “We do not have enough EVMs, so we will use more than 61,000 ballot boxes. Online voting facility is also not available, however, we will provide NOTA (none of the above) option for the first time in panchayat elections in Gujarat.”
In another first, declarations submitted by candidates will be uploaded for public viewing on SEC’s website.
