New Delhi, Sept. 22 -- Legislative Council elections to 28 graduates' and teachers' constituencies in four states will be held on October 23, the Election Commission said on Tuesday.
These 28 members are retiring in November and December from the legislative councils of Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
Graduates' and teachers' constituencies are special electoral districts, where only a specialised electoral college of qualified graduates and teachers elects members (MLCs) to the state Legislative Council.
Article 171 of the Constitution, which deals with Legislative Councils or Vidhan Parishad
and their composition, keeps aside certain constituencies only for such voters.
