UP Local Body Polls 2022: Just ahead of Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections, schedule for local body MLC polls have been announced in UP. Voting will be held in two phases for a total of 36 seats. However, in these elections instead of the common people, their representatives will vote.

According to media reports, the first phase of UP MLC Election will be held on March 3. The fate of 30 seats of MLC will be decided in this phase. In the second phase, voting will be held on March 7 for 6 seats. The results will be declared on March 12 after both the phases of voting.

Let us tell you that the public does not vote directly in the local body MLC elections. Instead, the village head, BDC members, district panchayat members and councilors of municipal bodies vote for it.

Tenure of MLC is 6 years

Like the Rajya Sabha members, the term of an MLC is also of 6 years. These are called the upper house of the states and the assembly is called the lower house. After the bill is passed from the assembly, it goes to the Legislative Council where each issue is discussed in depth. Only after being passed from there, they are sent to the governor for final approval.
