The general elections for India’s 543 Lok Sabha seats will be held in seven phases between 19 April and 1 June, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar announced on Saturday. The counting will be held on 4 June, the day which will decide if Prime Minister Narendra Modi will score a hat-trick of coming to power and equal Jawaharlal Nehru’s record of three straight stints as PM.
As the CEC announced the 44-day-long election schedule to elect the 18th Lok Sabha, the Model Code of Conduct kicked in immediately. The first parliamentary election on Jammu and Kashmir’s five seats after the abrogation of Article 370 will be held in five phases, between 19 April and 20 May.

Other high profile constituencies like Amit Shah’s Gandhinagar will go to election on 7 May, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s Lucknow seat will see voting on 20 May, Nitin Gadkari’s Nagpur seat on 19 April and Civil Aviation Minister
Jyotiraditya Scindia’s Guna seat on 7 May.
West Bengal’s Basirhat constituency, which houses the Sandeshkhali area, in news for the recent flare-up related to alleged atrocities against women and TMC MLA Shahjahan Sheikh, will elect its MP in the 7th phase of polling on 1 June.
