All eyes are set on the Election Commission of India (ECI) as it will announce the schedule of the Gujarat Assembly elections 2022 on Thursday at 12 pm. Earlier this month, the poll panel announced the date for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections. The hill state will vote on November 12 and the counting will take place on December 8. While announcing the poll schedule for Himachal, the EC had clearly hinted that the results of both states—Gujarat and Himachal will be declared on the same day i.e, December 8. In 2017 as well, election dates for both states were announced separately but the counting of votes took place simultaneously on December 18.
