New Delhi: Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar declared on Tuesday that Delhi's assembly elections will take place on February 5 and that the votes will be counted on February 8.
The last date to file nominations is January 17 and the scrutiny of nominations will be done by January 18.
Candidates will be able to withdraw their nominations till January 20.
"It is a single-phase election… We have deliberately kept polling on a Wednesday so more people come out to vote… like we did in Maharashtra," Kumar said at a press conference.
Bypolls to two assembly constituencies -- Milkipur in Uttar Pradesh and Erode in Tamil Nadu -- will also be held according to the same schedule.
