Finally some clarity for Rohru and Narkanda residents. It's frustrating when elections get postponed due to paperwork. But I appreciate that the Commission ensured proper reservation before announcing dates. Let's hope for clean elections sans corruption. 🙏

Why only for these two when 51 others are voting on May 17? Seems like ad-hoc planning. But yaar, at least the results will be same-day, which is good. I hope the voter turnout in Himachal's hill towns is high. People there often ignore local body polls.

Important elections for these two towns. Narkanda is a beautiful hill station and Rohru needs better infrastructure. Hope candidates focus on real issues like road conditions and water supply, not just caste politics. Model Code of Conduct will keep check on big spending.

Deferring elections due to reservation roster shows the system works slowly but surely. I'm glad they didn't rush it. The May 22 poll day from 7 AM to 3 PM is good for local voters. But the nomination window is too short—only 3 days for filing papers. Candidates should hurry up. 😊

It's good that the SEC announced specific dates for nomination, scrutiny, and withdrawal. Many small-town candidates don't understand the process properly. They should issue a clear voter guide in Hindi too. Also, counting on same day is efficient—no room for manipulation. 👍
