18th August 2026

Dear Voters / Members,

It is to inform you all that ongoing IIA Election 2026-2028 procedure has almost reached to its fag end except the E-voting procedure.

However, some unsatisfied members are writing letters to the STQC department asking irrelevant doubts. Also some vested interest members are visiting the STQC Office personally and try to misguide them about the election procedure in regards to hamper the election procedure.

Under such circumstances the STQC department has informed us that it would take some more days to issue the certification. Hence I am compelled to postpone the stipulated schedule of E-voting, which was to start on 19 August 2026 from 6:00 am to 21st August 2026 up to 5:00 pm.

The next dates and time will be informed soon. Please bear with us.

President,
The Indian Institute of Architects

Note: 

IIA has received certain mails regarding the Final List of Eligible Candidates declared on 11 August 2026, including discrepancies relating to withdrawals, cancellations and higher-post candidatures where there are two candidatures from the same nominee. These are being re-verified and all genuine errors will be corrected before preparation of the Final Ballot Papers as per schedule.

Uttarakhand Chapter – Chairperson:
Ar. M. S. Negi has stated that he never withdrew his candidature and that the withdrawal email received by IIA was fraudulent. On verification, IIA found that the email was sent from ar.msnegii@gmail.com instead of his stated email ar.msnegi@gmail.com (an additional “i”).
Accordingly, the withdrawal shall not be treated as valid, and Ar. M. S. Negi’s candidature shall stand valid, ensuring him a fair opportunity to contest the election.

Accordingly, the Final Lists of Eligible Candidates of Bihar Chapter, Kerala Chapter, Tamil Nadu Chapter, Telangana Chapter, Uttarakhand Chapter, Brihan Mumbai Centre, Faridabad Centre, Hisar Centre, Kannur Centre, Kanpur Centre, Ludhiana Centre, Palakkad Centre, Patiala Centre, Pimpri-Chinchwad Centre, Pune Centre, Ambala Sub Centre & Jabalpur Sub Centre, have been corrected and replaced.
