New Delhi

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday (July 31, 2025) said that it has finalised the electoral college list for the Vice-Presidential election. It will be available from the date of notification, “which is likely to be announced soon”, it said.

The Vice-Presidential election was necessitated by the sudden resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar on July 21. It led to a rare mid-term vacancy in the second highest constitutional position of the country.
