Bhubaneswar: The Odisha State Bar Council has fixed May 23 as the date for conducting elections to the three remaining Bar Associations in the state whose polls were earlier postponed.
Announcing the schedule, Sitanshu Mohan Dwivedi, President of the Odisha State Bar Council, stated that elections will be held for Nabarangapur Bar Association, Jatni Lawyers Association, and Sundargarh District Bar Association on May 23, 2026.
According to reports, the State Bar Council has already communicated the decision to the Presidents and Secretaries of the concerned Bar Associations.
