election Date Loksabha Election 2019 : Election Time table 2019 Loksabha

Elections for the 543 Lok Sabha seats have to be held by May. The term of the present Lok Sabha ends on June 3.

Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh also have elections due by April-May.

In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP bagged majority on its own by winning 282 of the 543 seats in Lok Sabha. The NDA won 336 seats. The majority mark is 272 seats. The opposition Congress won 44 seats.

After the announcement of elections, the Model Code of Conduct, which lays down the dos and don'ts ahead of the elections, will come into effect. Among other things, the code bars the government from announcing policy decisions.

Over the last months, the Commission officials have been on meticulous stock-taking tours, checking whether all the states have been logistically ready to hold elections.

Alleging delay in announcement by the Commission, senior Congress Congress leader Ahmed Patel had tweeted: "Is the Election Commission waiting for the Prime Minister's "official" travel programs to conclude before announcing dates for General Elections?"

It is not yet decided whether the elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be held along with the Lok Sabha elections. The state has been under Governor's rule since the BJP ended the ruling alliance with Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party in June.

Amid appeals by political parties for holding elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the Election Commission officials have done a feasibility check. The situation in the state has been sensitive following the February 14 terror attack in Pulwama.

National Conference chief Omar Abdullah tweeted: "The wait ends as done the BJP's tax payer funded campaign spree. Bring on the dates & let's fight the good fight".

10. In 2014, the Commission had announced the schedule on March 5 and the nine-phase electoral exercise was spread across April and May. While the first phase polling was on April 7, the last phase was on May 12.
