The next Indian general election is expected to be held in India between April and May 2024 to elect the members of the 18th Lok Sabha.

Background[edit]

The tenure of Lok Sabha is scheduled to end on 16 May 2024. [2] The previous general elections were held in April–May 2019. After the election, National Democratic Alliance, led by Bharatiya Janata Party, formed the union government, with Narendra Modi continuing as Prime Minister.[3]

Electoral system[edit]

All 543 elected MPs are elected from single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting.[4] The 104th amendment to the constitution abolished the two seats that were reserved for the Anglo-Indian community.[5]

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.[6] Some people convicted of electoral or other offenses are barred from voting.[7]

Article 83 of the Constitution of India requires elections to the Lok Sabha be held once every five years.[8]

Parties and alliances[edit]

Most of the contesting parties are small with regional appeal. There are 6 national parties — Bharatiya Janata Party, Indian National Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Bahujan Samaj Party, National People's Party and Aam Aadmi Party. Among these parties, BJP and INC are main contenders for the election.

National Democratic Alliance[edit]

Main article: National Democratic Alliance

The National Democratic Alliance abbreviated as NDA (IAST: Rāṣhṭrīya Jānātānātrik Gaṭhabandhan) is a big-tent, mostly centre-right to right-wing political alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
