"The Election Commission has postponed the March 5, 2026 House of Representatives election due to security concerns."

This dossier summarizes the strongest available evidence and weighs competing claims.
Official Analysis
Available reporting from Nepal’s mainstream media and official statements consistently describe the House of Representatives election as still scheduled for March 5, 2026. The Election Commission is actively dispatching ballot boxes, printing ballot papers and coordinating security deployments for that date, which would not be happening if the polls had been postponed.
There has been no credible announcement from the President’s Office, the Council of Ministers or the Election Commission about changing the polling date. In Nepal’s constitutional framework, such a change would require a clear, public decision and legal notification, none of which have occurred so far.
The rumour appears to misinterpret discussions about security preparations and protests as indications of postponement. At present, all authoritative signals point to the election going ahead on March 5, 2026 as scheduled.
