The Lok Sabha election’s first round has been declared. The first round of nominations for 102 members, distributed among 21 states and union territories, officially began today.
The deadline for nominations is today
Nominations for the 102 seats up for grabs in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections must be submitted by March 27. March 28 has been retained as the deadline for Bihar nominations, nevertheless. On the other hand, March 30 is the deadline for withdrawal of nomination. In addition, April 2 has been set aside in Bihar for the withdrawal of candidates.
The deadline for submitting nominations for Bihar’s first round of Lok Sabha seats has been extended to March 28 due to a festival. In Bihar, four of the forty seats will be up for election in the first phase.
Elections are scheduled for 102 seats in these states
In reality, the first phase of elections will cover 102 seats across 21 states. Puducherry, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Maharashtra, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jammu and Kashmir, Lakshadweep, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Nagaland, and Andaman Nicobar are among them.
In addition to the Lok Sabha Polls, there will be assembly elections in Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha. This means that, after the parliamentary elections of 1951–1952, the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will feature the second-longest voting session.
The first legislative elections in 1951–1952 had the longest voting session in Indian history, lasting about four months. According to news agency PTI, the nation’s first general election took place in 68 phases for 489 Lok Sabha members spread across 401 constituencies in 25 states between October 25, 1951, and February 21, 1952.
Three14 constituencies each elected one member, one constituency elected three members, and voters in these elections selected two members—one each from the general category and the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe categories.
A tailored response to MCC violations
When the election dates are announced, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) goes into force right away and stays that way until the results are made public.
The CEC identified the problems with the “four Ms”—massery power, financial power, disinformation, and MCC infractions. Mr. Kumar stated, “I would appeal to parties to maintain decorum during the campaign and refrain from personal attacks,” and he said that the ECI would react to MCC infractions in a “calibrated” manner.
He went on to say that there will be close monitoring of all election management-related news on all major national and local news networks. The CEC stated that prompt action will be taken in the event that any undesirable incident or rule breach is discovered.
