Gujarat is PM Modi's home state

The Election Commission announces that the Gujarat polls will be held on December 1 and 5 in two phases. The results will be announced on December 8 along with Himachal Pradesh.

182 Assembly seats to go to the polls in Gujarat.

The BJP, which has been ruling the state for nearly 25 years, is on the backfoot after the aftermath of the Morbi bridge collapse revealed glaring lapses, putting the Bhupendra Patel dispensation on a sticky wicket.

The BJP holds majority in Gujarat with 111 MLAs. The polls are a three way fight with the Congress and the AAP joining in.

"For enhanced voting experience, 1274 polling stations will be completely managed by women and security staff. There will be 182 polling stations where one will be welcomed by PWD. For the 1st time, 33 polling stations will be set up and managed by the youngest available polling staff," the EC says.
