The 2020 Bodoland Territorial Council election was held between 7 and 10 December 2020 [1] to elect members to the Bodoland Territorial Council, the autonomous district council for the Bodoland Territorial Region in India. All 40 elected seats in the council were up for election.

## Background[edit]

In the previous council, BPF and BJP were in an asymmetric alliance with the BPF as the major partner. The BJP on the other hand was in power at the state and the center.

## Scheduled date and postponement[edit]

The elections were due to be held on 4 April 2020 but were postponed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

The term of the current council was due to expire on 27 April 2020. There were two possible options for the council after that date, the term of the current council could be extended by up to six months or the Bodoland Territorial Region could be placed under President's rule by the Governor of Assam.[3][4] On 27 April 2020, it was announced that Bodoland would come under Governor's rule until a new council is elected.[5][6]

## Election schedule[edit]

Elections to 40 seats in Bodoland Territorial council were held in two phases.

Phase 1 (7 Dec 2020)
21 seats in Udalguri and Baksa districts.
Phase 2 (10 Dec 2020)
19 seats in Chirang and Kokrajhar districts.

Election results were announced on 12 December 2020.

## Voting[edit]

During phase 1, Assam State election Commission puts voting percentage at 77%.
