The counting of votes for the Jharkhand civic body elections is currently underway, with the final results expected to be announced soon by the Jharkhand State Election Commission (SEC). These elections are seen as crucial for grassroots governance across the state, covering urban local bodies ranging from major municipal corporations to smaller nagar panchayats.
Jharkhand has nine municipal corporations, along with 20 nagar parishads and 19 nagar panchayats, all of which went to the polls on February 23. The vote counting process is being conducted under tight supervision to ensure transparency and accuracy. Results will determine mayors, chairpersons, and ward councillors across 48 urban local bodies (ULBs).

Among all urban bodies, the Ranchi Municipal Corporation recorded the lowest voter turnout at 43.35 per cent, according to official SEC data. Polling for all civic elections in the state was conducted using ballot papers, rather than electronic voting machines.
Elections were held for mayor and chairperson posts in 48 ULBs, along with councillor elections in 1,042 wards. While Jharkhand has 1,087 wards, polling did not take place in all due to uncontested wins, vacant seats, and one cancelled poll following a candidate’s death.
In total, 562 candidates, including 235 women, contested mayor and chairperson posts. For ward councillor seats, 5,562 candidates, including 2,727 women, were in the race. Although candidates did not contest on official party symbols, most received backing from political outfits.
