Electoral system

All 543 elected MPs are elected from single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting.[2] The 104th amendment to the constitution effectively abolished the two seats that were reserved for the Anglo-Indian community.[3]

Eligible voters must be Indian citizens, 18 years or older, an ordinary resident of the polling area of the constituency and registered to vote (name included in the electoral rolls), possess a valid voter identification card issued by the Election Commission of India or equivalent.[4] Some people convicted of electoral or other offences are barred from voting.[5]

Article 83 of the Constitution of India requires elections to the Lok Sabha be held once every five years.[6]

Election schedule

The dates of election were announced by Election Commission of India (ECI).[7] The last general elections in 2019 were held in 7 phases.[8]

The incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to be the prime ministerial candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party in 2024 general election.[9] According to the constitution of the BJP, a person who's age is more than 75 years, will not be given a ticket on behalf of the party to contest in any election.[10][failed verification][11]

At the time of the 2024 general elections, Narendra Modi will turn 73, that is, according to the BJP's constitution, he can contest and this will probably be his last election.[12][failed verification]
