New Delhi: The schedule for assembly elections will be announced on Friday afternoon by the Election Commission.
The states for which the election schedule would be released were not mentioned in an EC invitation to the media for a news conference scheduled at approximately three o'clock in the afternoon.
The terms of the legislative assemblies of Haryana and Maharashtra end on November 3 and November 26, respectively.
The poll panel also plans to hold assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir before September 30, the deadline set by the Supreme Court.
The Election Commission has visited Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana recently to oversee the poll preparedness but is yet to visit Maharashtra.
