The Election Commission will hold biennial elections on February 13 to seven Rajya Sabha seats, including those held by Union Ministers Vayalar Ravi and Saif-ud-Din Soz as also National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah.
Elections to these four seats could not be held earlier due to non-existence of Assembly in the state. Assembly polls in the state were completed last month.
Besides Ravi, the tenure of Teennala G Balakrishna Pillai (Congress) and K Chandran Pillai (CPI-M) in Kerala was to expire on April next.
According to the schedule announced by the EC, the notifications would be issued on January 27.

Counting of votes would take place in the evening on February 13, the day of polling.
