Government corrects Rajya Sabha election results notification error

The Union Law and Justice Ministry rescinded a gazette notification issued on July 21 that erroneously listed the results of by-elections to three Rajya Sabha seats in West Bengal instead of the election result for a seat from Mizoram. The error was identified and corrected within hours, according to government and Election Commission sources cited by *The Indian Express*. The Legislative Department issued a revised notification on the same day, specifying the correct seat and result. The Mizoram seat’s election was held earlier this month, and its result was officially notified. The incident highlights procedural checks in the election result notification process.
