"The March 5, 2026 House of Representatives election has been postponed due to security concerns."
This dossier summarizes the strongest available evidence and weighs competing claims.
Official Analysis
Multiple recent statements by the Government of Nepal and the Election Commission of Nepal clearly affirm that the House of Representatives election will be held on March 5, 2026. The official election calendar, public briefings to diplomatic missions, and interviews with election commissioners all reference the same polling date. No official notice has been issued to change or postpone the election. If such a major decision were taken, it would have to be announced formally by the Election Commission and the Office of the President. In the absence of any such announcement, claims of postponement are false.
