Reports suggest that the Election Commission of India is set to reveal the schedule for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections sometime this week. This announcement is anticipated following the commission's recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir.
During their visit to the region, the Election Commission was evaluating the feasibility of holding polls in the Union Territory. It is speculated that the commission will unveil the dates for the general election shortly after concluding their assessment.
The Supreme Court of India had previously instructed the central government to conduct assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30, 2024, and expedite the restoration of statehood. Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud emphasized this directive while delivering the judgment on the Article 370 matter.
In response to circulating misinformation, the Election Commission clarified that no official dates have been announced yet for the Lok Sabha elections. The commission reiterated that any schedule will be communicated through a press conference and cautioned against spreading unverified information, particularly through platforms like WhatsApp.
Furthermore, in February, the Election Commission issued an advisory urging all political parties to maintain civility and focus on issue-based discussions during public campaigning. Parties were reminded to refrain from exploiting caste or communal sentiments for electoral gains.
With the anticipation building up, citizens await the official announcement from the Election Commission regarding the crucial dates for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
