The Election Commission is likely to held Assembly polls in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh with Lok Sabha elections due next year. The terms of the four assemblies will end in May and June, 2019.
The sources also said there is a possibility of holding elections to the Jammu and Kashmir assembly, dissolved this month before it completed its tenure, along the general elections.
They pointed out that by holding assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh along with the Lok Sabha polls, the Election Commission (EC) will be following precedents.
Since the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly has been dissolved, the EC is bound to hold fresh polls there within six months.
