Asked why elections in Jharkhand were not being held simultaneously, the CEC said it did not have jurisdiction to hold polls there now. This was because the term of the assembly there was ending on March 9 next year and EC had only six months jurisdiction to advance polls, he added.

The Commission has prepared the schedule for holding General Elections to the Legislative Assemblies of Arunachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Haryana after taking into consideration all relevant aspects, like the climatic conditions, academic schedules, festivals, prevailing law and order situation in the States, availability of Central Police Forces, time needed for movement and proper deployment of forces, and assessment of other ground realities.
