Polling for the three-tier panchayat elections will take place on February 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 from 7 am to 1 pm.
According to an official order, employees of government undertakings/ boards/corporations/apex bodies, who have registered themselves as voters in Grama Panchayats, will be allowed special casual leave for a maximum of three days to cast their votes.
