Kashmir and Jammu

In Jammu & Kashmir, where there haven’t been any Lok Sabha Election 2024 elections in nearly ten years, there won’t be any. The previous elections took place in November and December of 2014.

The Bharatiya Janata Party and the People’s Democratic Party were in collaboration during the time; however, that alliance broke up in 2018.

“All political parties in Jammu and Kashmir expressed their support for simultaneous assembly and parliamentary elections, but the entire administrative apparatus objected, stating that this could not be done. Each assembly constituency will have between ten and twelve candidates, for a total of more than a thousand. It was not possible to provide security to every candidate, declared Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar.

“But we are committed… as soon as these elections are over, we will hold elections there.”

Between April 19 and May 20, five phases of Lok Sabha elections will take place in the region governed by the central government in each of its five parliamentary constituencies. Baramulla, Srinagar, Anantnag-Rajouri, Udhampur, and Jammu are the five Lok Sabha seats.

On June 4th, there will be a vote count.
Delhi, New:

The dates for the next Lok Sabha elections were revealed today by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar. The elections are scheduled to take place over seven phases, beginning on April 19 and ending on June 1. On June 4, the results will be made public. No elections will be held simultaneously, he declared. The dates of the state assembly elections are May 13 in Andhra Pradesh, April 19 in Sikkim, April 19 in Arunachal Pradesh, and May 13 in Odisha. The Election Commission stated today during a press conference that it is addressing the 4Ms (Money, Muscle, Misinformation, and MCC Violation), which stand in the way of free and fair elections

In the next elections, almost 970 million individuals will be able to cast ballots. Over 85-year-old voters would be permitted to cast their ballots from home, according to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar. Additionally, he stated that all polling places will have basic amenities including restrooms and drinking water. The present Lok Sabha’s tenure expires on June 16; therefore, a new session must be called before then. June also marks the conclusion of the terms for the legislative assemblies in four states.

In the previous parliamentary elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which was attempting to come to power for the third consecutive time, won 303 seats, while the Congress won 52 seats. The upcoming elections are crucial for the opposition parties in India, which are fighting to stop the BJP’s surge.

According to officials, the Election Commission plans to use state and federal police forces in addition to 3.4 lakh members of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) for the seven phases of the Lok Sabha elections and the four state assembly elections that will begin on April 19.

In a verse published on Saturday, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar attacked opponents of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), claiming that the Election Commission frequently has to cope with “incomplete desires.”
