The Election Commission will on Tuesday meet the Chief Electoral Officers and Nodal Police Officers of the five States that are slated to go to the polls this year.
The Commission will review not only the final leg of poll preparations, but also the law and order situation and the publication of the revised electoral rolls.
The term of Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Punjab, Goa and Uttarakhand assemblies will expire soon and the Commission wants to make sure that the situation is right for holding the polls in these States.
A final decision on the date of the polling and on the holding of elections in phases will be taken only after the meeting on Tuesday. At the moment, the Commission is tight-lipped on the poll dates, which are expected to be announced this week.
