The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the schedule for the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha elections 2024. The elections will be conducted in seven phases, starting from April 19 and ending on June 1. Vote counting will take place on June 4. Phase 1 voting is scheduled for April 19, Phase 2 for April 26, Phase 3 for May 7, Phase 4 for May 13, Phase 5 for May 20, Phase 6 for May 25, and Phase 7 for June 1.
Like the last general elections this election will also be conducted in different phases. The ECI has released the list of Phases and the states in which these elections will be conducted during this phase. Today in this article we’ll talk about the election dates in Uttar Pradesh. Being the largest state of India by population , Uttar Pradesh commands the highest number of Lok Sabha Seats which is 80. Therefore it would be important to see how the parties will perform at these seats in order to make government at the central level. Furthermore , we’ll also see the list of candidates that both the BJP led National Democratic Alliance and INDIA block has announced in the constituencies of Uttar Pradesh. Both the groups have serious footings in the state of UP and the competition is believed to be cut throat. Currently , there is a BJP government led by CM Yogi Adityanath in UP , which indicates much more favourable conditions for the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Now let’s see what are the dates for lok sabha elections in UP announced by the Election Commission.
