Delhi HC Directs BCI Committee to Consider Plea for Polling Booths in District Courts for BCD Elections

The Delhi High Court directed that a writ petition seeking multiple polling centres for the 2026 Bar Council of Delhi elections be treated as a representation before the Special Committee constituted under Section 8A of the Advocates Act, 1961. 

The Court was dealing with concerns that a single polling venue may cause overcrowding and inconvenience for over 1,05,000 voters.

It noted that the Supreme Court has already framed directions requiring such election-related grievances to be placed before the Special Committee.

The Committee was asked to decide the representation within three weeks.
