On Saturday, the Election Commission of India announced the schedule for the general election to the state legislative assembly of Sikkim, which will be held on April 19, 2024.

However, a day after it announced the schedule for the Lok Sabha and four Assembly elections, the Election Commission on Sunday changed the date of counting of votes in the Sikkim assembly polls from June 4 to June 2.
