New Delhi is set to hold the penultimate phase of the Lok Sabha elections, with over 11 crore voters getting their chance to make their voices heard. A total of 889 candidates will be vying for 58 seats in this upcoming phase, making it a crucial point in the election process.
However, it's not just New Delhi that will be heading to the polls on Saturday. The Anantnag-Rajouri seat in Jammu and Kashmir, which was originally scheduled for phase three, will finally have its turn after being postponed due to logistical issues caused by bad weather conditions.
The Election Commission released a statement on Friday, assuring voters that the India Meteorological Department has predicted no adverse impact from the cyclone in the constituencies that will be voting. While no specific details were provided, this is certainly good news for those who will be casting their ballots.
Aside from New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir, other states like Odisha and West Bengal will also have some of their Lok Sabha and Assembly seats up for grabs in this phase. This means that a total of 11.13 crore people, including 5.84 crore men, 5.29 crore women, and 5,120 third gender electors, will have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
The Election Commission has also taken this opportunity to urge voters in urban centers like Delhi, Gurugram, and Faridabad to break the trend of urban apathy and show up in large numbers on Saturday. After all, every single vote counts in shaping the future of our country.
With the last phase of polling scheduled for June 1 and counting of votes set for June 4, this penultimate phase is crucial in determining the final outcome of the Lok Sabha elections. So let's all do our part and make our voices heard in this democratic process.
