In addition to three former chief ministers, the BJP dropped at least 28 sitting members from its second list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections, which it unveiled on Wednesday.

Notably, the current Lok Sabha’s tenure is set to expire on June 16, and a new House must be created prior to that date.
Delhi, New: The Election Commission of India said on Friday that the dates for the 2024 Lok Sabha election will be revealed at 3 p.m. on Saturday. Four Assembly polls, which are slated to take place at roughly the same time, will also have their dates announced, according to a brief statement made by the ECI on X. The moment the dates are published, the Model Code of Conduct will be in effect. Results of the 2019 election were announced four days after it was conducted in seven parts from April 11 to May 19.
In the Lok Sabha elections of this year, voting may occur in six or seven phases, most likely beginning in late April and ending in May, when the results are expected to be declared. Nearly 97 crore eligible voters cast ballots in more than 12 lakh polling places to elect the 18th Lok Sabha.
The Lok Sabha will be replaced by new elections in April; the current one ends on June 16. State votes in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim will also be held. The terms of the assemblies in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim will expire on June 2, while those in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha will finish on June 11 and June 24, respectively.
Arunachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Sikkim are the four states that are anticipated to cast ballots in April or May; Maharashtra, Haryana, and Jharkhand are set to cast ballots later in the year. In accordance with a Supreme Court ruling mandating the holding of Assembly elections by September 30 as the first step towards the restoration of statehood, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh will also vote.
First, the poll panel announced the dates, polling places, and other details in a news conference with a 24-hour notice. This included the deployment of security personnel in states where there was a risk of post-election violence and clashes with Maoist or rebel forces.
Date of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections LIVE updates: CEC The Election Commission of India (ECI), led by Rajiv Kumar, is scheduled to release the full calendar for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on Saturday. The electoral authority will release key information regarding the next general elections, including dates, phases, results announcements, etc., at a news conference in New Delhi.
Two days after Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu were appointed as two new Election Commissioners, the date of the 2024 Lok Sabha election was announced. Following Arun Goel’s unexpected departure last week and Anup Chandra Pandey’s retirement on February 14, the new ECs were appointed.
Following the announcement of the Lok Sabha election date in 2024, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) will come into effect. This means that political parties, candidates, and the government will have to adhere to the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) prescribed guidelines regarding their speeches, announcements, election manifestos, and other related matters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are aiming for a third term in office, while the opposition appears increasingly set to blow apart itself. Should Modi secure a third term, he will tie Jawaharlal Nehru’s record as India’s first prime minister.
The 2019 Lok Sabha elections were declared on March 10 and spread over seven stages starting on April 11 of that year, five years ago. On May 23, the results were announced.
The announcement of the results was made on Saturday, one day after the Election Commission was reconstituted with three members after Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, two new commissioners, assumed office on March 15.
The assessment, which was given to the EC during the CEC’s visit to J&K on March 12–13, suggests that the security apparatus should concentrate on securing the smaller number of candidates for the parliamentary polls rather than devoting all of its resources to securing the potentially much larger number of candidates for the simultaneous polls to the UT assembly and LS.
