While municipal corporation elections will see candidates contesting on party symbols, the party has set February 11 as the deadline for application submissions to district election committees.

The party is accepting applications for both municipal corporation and council positions, with district incharge Aftab Ahmed and civic election committee co-incharge Rohtas Bedi overseeing the process.
