LOK SABHA ELECTIONS

The Lok Sabha elections are conducted once in 5 years by the Election Commission of India to elect members to the lower house of India’s Parliament. The next Lok Sabha elections will be held in 2024 when the Narendra Modi-led government's term expires. The contest is for 545 seats, out of which a party is needed to win at least 272 seats. Elections are held using a voting system, under which, voters in each constituency cast their vote for the candidate they wish to represent them in the Lok Sabha. There are currently 543 Parliamentary Constituencies in India. Get the latest Lok Sabha elections news, videos, opinions and special reports here.
To uphold the core democratic principle of equal representation, each seat in the Lok Sabha is constitutionally mandated to represent roughly the same number of people. (Hindustan Times) Premium
