Amidst the electoral bonds scam, the BJP’s call for simultaneous polls, and campaigning from several political parties, India will go to the polls from April 19 to June 1, in a marathon seven-phase exercise to elect the 543 members of the 18th Lok Sabha.

Assembly elections will be held simultaneously in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.
