The elections took place under the supervision of a committee comprising senior advocates Jitendra Mohan Sharma, Vijay Hansaria, and Mahalaxmi Bhavani, following a directive from the Supreme Court to conduct voting on May 20, with counting and result declarations by May 21.
Additionally, the Supreme Court mandated that the post of SCBA secretary be reserved for women candidates in the 2025 elections. Furthermore, one-third of the executive seats (three out of nine) and two out of six senior executive positions were reserved for women.
Voting was based on the finalized voter list from the 2024 elections, with eligibility extended to members up to February 28, 2025.
