When is the next election in the region where you are located? Is it to the state, urban local body or panchayat?
This is a location-specific activity requiring students to research upcoming elections in their area.
Students should identify whether the next election is for: (1) State Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) — state level, (2) Urban Local Body (municipal corporation, municipality, or nagar panchayat) — city level, or (3) Panchayat (gram panchayat, block panchayat, or district panchayat) — village/block/district level.
Information can be obtained from the Election Commission of India website, State Election Commission website, or local news sources.
The chapter explains that India has multiple levels of elections — Lok Sabha (national), State Legislative Assemblies (state), and local bodies (city and village).
