The BCCI elections have been postponed by a day, and will now take place on October 23 due to the legislative assembly elections in the state of Maharashtra and Haryana - which is set to take place on October 21, the Committee of Administrators said in a statement. The CoA has also extended the date of completion of elections for the member state associations to October 4.

In the statement, the CoA also directed that the state associations should not re-amend the constitution that has been approved by the CoA. "The member State Associations and their respective electoral officers are directed not to re-amend their constitutions as already approved by the COA in light of the judgment dated 9th August 2018," the statement on Tuesday (September 24) read.

"The member State Associations are also directed to conduct the elections in accordance with the constitution approved by the COA in terms of the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 9th August, 2018 and the relaxation granted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its order dated 20th September, 2019, as explained in paragraph 1 above."

It further added, "The State Associations who have not brought their constitutions in line with the BCCI Constitution run the risk of their election results not being recognised."

The reforms are being implemented following the Supreme Court orders dated July 18, 2016, August 9, 2018 and September 20, 2019.
