Both these changes have been incorporated keeping the festival season in mind.
Phase wise Elections Dates
The wait is finally over for the country as the Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the dates for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. Originally speculated to be held in five-six phases, the 16th general election will actually be held in nine phases spreading just over a month. Here’s the breakup of phase-wise dates:
Phase I: 7 April 2014
Phase II: 9 April 2014
Phase III: 10 April 2014
Phase IV: 12 April 2014
Phase V: 17 April 2014
Phase VI: 24 April 2014
Phase VII: 30 April 2014
Phase VIII: 7 May 2014
Phase IX: 12 May 2014
The first phase will be a lightweight one, as only the states of Assam and Tripura will be covered. Assam will vote for five parliamentary constituencies, while Tripura will vote for one. The counting of votes will be carried out on 16 May 2014, which will reveal which party emerges strong enough to form the government in the centre.
Apart from these, assembly elections for four states are also being conducted. Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh will also vote to elect their respective Chief Minister, as the constitutional term of the government comes to an end.
