Election Commission of India (ECI) on Sunday announced the dates for the 17th Lok Sabha elections, which will be held in 7 phases and the first phase of polling will take place on April 11, 2019.
Announcing the election schedule and related measures, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sunil Arora said, “The Election Commission of India has attempted every comprehensive preparation for the conduct of election for the 17th Lok Sabha, which is free, fair, inclusive, ethical, participatory and also festive,” he said.
Twenty-two states and union territories (UTs), including Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, will have Lok Sabha election in a single phase while it will be spread across seven phases in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, the Election Commission announced Sunday.
Karnataka, Manipur, Rajasthan and Tripura will have an election in two phases, while Assam and Chhattisgarh will have three-phase polling.
Four states -- Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha -- will have elections in four phases.
Jammu and Kashmir, where the poll panel decided not to have assembly elections simultaneously with LS polls, will have five-phase voting.
There is no state where elections will be conducted in six phases.
With 543 Lok Sabha seats spread across 36 states-UTs, where elections will be held in seven phases, it can be confusing to keep track of each state and when the polling will be held in that particular state.
