General elections are expected to be held in India by May 2029 to elect the members of the 19th Lok Sabha.
Background
The tenure of Lok Sabha is scheduled to end in June 2029.[1] The previous general elections were held in April–May 2024. After the election, National Democratic Alliance, led by Bharatiya Janata Party, formed the union government, with Narendra Modi continuing as Prime Minister.[2]
Electoral system
All 543 elected MPs are elected from single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting.
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. Some people convicted of electoral or other offences are barred from voting.
Article 83 of the Constitution of India requires elections to the Lok Sabha be held once every five years.[3]
