Ending the Election Campaign Today, Candidates Can Now Make Door-to-Door Visits

The election campaign for the Khair assembly by-election in Aligarh will conclude today, November 18, at 5 pm. After this, candidates can only campaign by visiting voters door-to-door. The election preparations are nearly complete, with both police and administrative teams ready for the voting process, which is scheduled for November 20.

Polling will take place from 7 am to 6 pm on November 20, with polling parties departing for the Khair constituency at 8 am on November 19 from Dhanipur Mandi. After voting, the EVMs will be securely transported to Dhanipur Mandi and stored in a strong room until the vote count begins on November 23.

In the Khair by-election, five candidates are competing, including Surendra Diler from the BJP-RLD alliance, Charu Kain from the SP-Congress alliance, Dr. Pehal Singh from the BSP, Nitin Kumar Chotel from the Azad Samaj Party, and Bhupendra Kumar Dhangar from the Rashtriya Shoshit Samaj Party.
