Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has announced the schedule for its 2026-27 student union election. Voting across all faculties will take place on 5 November, with counting starting at 7 pm the same day. The election officer, Prof. Javed Talib, released the timetable, clearing the way for the election process to move forward after a period of demand and protest.

Under the schedule, the voter list will be displayed at respective dean offices at 10 am on 26 October. Applications for corrections to the list can be submitted until 2 pm on 27 October, and the final voter list will be issued at 4 pm the same day. Counting will continue until the results are announced.
The dates mean the election schedule is final after a period of uncertainty. With voting and counting compressed into a single day, the university is managing both a high-security and high-volume operation across multiple faculties. The voter list timeline, display, objections, finalisation in under 48 hours, points to a tight administrative window that leaves little room for disputes before polling. The process now hinges on whether objections to the voter list are resolved without controversy, since any dispute could delay the final list and, in turn, the voting itself.
