Haryana Gurdwara Election Commissioner Justice HS Bhalla (retd) on Tuesday said the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) elections are likely to be held in January next year.

“All necessary preparations are underway for the upcoming HSGMC general elections. The elections, which will involve 40 wards, are expected to be held in January 2025,” Justice Bhalla said in a statement.

He said that around 2,84,000 Sikh voters have already registered to vote for these elections. He urged all eligible persons who have not yet registered to do so before the electoral process officially begins. Voter registration remains open and those who wish to have their name included can submit their application to the returning officer of their respective ward until the official election schedule is released, he said.

After the announcement of the election schedule, applications for voter registration can be submitted to the Deputy Commissioner of the concerned constituency until the end of the election process.

“The election schedule for HSGMC is expected to be released soon,” he added.
