Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday said that civic polls for the Greater Bengaluru Area (GBA) will be held by the end of December, and other local body elections will be completed by the end of March, 2027.

Supreme Court extends Bengaluru civic polls to December 2026 due to logistical challenges from Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision.

The elections, scheduled to be held by August 31, will now take place in December after the court accepted that the revision posed logistical challenges.
