India-wide preparations are in full swing for the Lok Sabha elections 2024, a seven-phase political battle which will elect a new union government. With 543 parliamentary constituencies across the country, the Election Commission has decided to organise the polls in seven stages, beginning April 19.
While some states and Union territories will go to polls in a single phase, larger states with a significant number of constituencies will be up for elections in multiple phases to ensure a smooth conduct of polls.
After the inaugural phase, the subsequent stages will take place on April 26, May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25 and June 1.
The Lok Sabha election result will be out on June 4.
