The civic polls, being held in three phases, will be the first test of Yogi Adityanath as the chief minister of the state which gave the BJP a massive mandate in the Assembly polls held in March.

As per schedule, 24 districts have gone to polls on Wednesday, 25 districts will vote on November 26, and the remaining 26 districts on November 29.
The counting of votes for the 16 nagar nigams, 118 nagar palika parishads and 438 nagar panchyats will take place on December 1.
