As we approach the end of 2023, many people in India are excited about the 18th Lok Sabha Elections in 2024. These elections will happen between April and May 2024 and will finish on June 16, 2024. Here's a simple explanation of what you need to know about these upcoming elections.
What Are Lok Sabha Elections?
Lok Sabha Elections are a big deal in India. In 2024, they will use a voting system called "first-past-the-post." This means that in each of the 543 areas in India, one Member of Parliament (MP) will be chosen. But, this time, there won't be any seats reserved for the Anglo-Indian community.
To vote in these elections, you need to be an Indian citizen, at least 18 years old, living in the voting area, registered to vote, and have a valid voter ID card. If you've been involved in any crimes related to elections, you might not be allowed to vote. According to the Indian Constitution, Lok Sabha Elections happen every five years.
When Will the 2024 Elections Happen?
The ECI (Election Commission of India) will notify the exact dates for the 18th Lok Sabha Elections. Right now, the 17th Lok Sabha's term will end on June 16, 2024, so we're all waiting to know when the elections will take place.
Political Parties and Alliances
The politics in India is getting more divided as we approach the 2024 elections. Two big groups, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (NDIA), are competing for power.
Some important parties in these elections are the Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Aam Aadmi Party, National People's Party, Communist Party of India (Marxist), and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). The BSP won't be running on its own; it's part of an alliance.
What's Happening in the Run-Up to 2024?
In the most recent state assembly elections, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won. They won in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, two states that the Congress party had previously ruled, while keeping power in Madhya Pradesh.
Who Will Be the Next Prime Minister?
We don't know yet who will be the next Prime Minister of India. Our current Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done a lot of things during his leadership, like the "Atmanirbhar" initiative, creating jobs, fighting corruption, introducing GST, demonetizing the 2000 rupee note, and handling COVID-19 well.
India elects a new Prime Minister every five years, and Narendra Modi has made a big impact. We hope the next leaders will also work for the good of the people.
Predicting the 2024 Elections
People are excited about the 2024 elections, but it's hard to predict who will win because the official dates and details haven't been announced yet. Everyone, including the public and political experts, will share their thoughts, which will help voters make informed choices.
Rules for Candidates and Parties
The ECI (Election Commission of India) has set rules for candidates and political parties during the election:
