The announcement
AAP announced a first list of 40 candidates for the 2027 Punjab Assembly election on 31 October.
Reports name Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for Dhuri and Kultar Singh Sandhwan for Kotkapura.
This is a party announcement, not a vote count or a final official candidate register.
Why an early list matters
Naming candidates early gives voters time to examine local records, priorities and public statements.
Other parties may announce their own lists later; a fair comparison needs more than one party's claims.
A party can also revise choices before the formal nomination process is complete.
Three checks for voters
Confirm your own voter registration through the Election Commission's official voter services.
When nominations open, compare names with the official constituency candidate list, not viral graphics.
Read policy claims against budget documents and public records; distinguish promises from completed work.
What remains unknown
A candidate list does not indicate who will win or how any constituency will vote.
The formal election schedule and final contesting-candidate list should come from the election authorities.
