A full bench, led by the Chief Election Commissioner, heard the case on local elections in Punjab. The Chief Secretary and Secretary of Local Government Punjab attended the hearing.

The Election Commission said it struggled to hold elections in three provinces and cantonments. The Chief Election Commissioner said provincial governments delay elections by changing laws.
