The high-pitched campaigning for the seventh and final phase of Lok Sabha elections in 57 seats across seven states and the Union territory of Chandigarh concluded on the evening of May 30.

Polling is scheduled for June 1 in all 13 seats of Punjab and four of Himachal Pradesh, 13 constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, nine in West Bengal, eight in Bihar, six in Odisha, and three seats in Jharkhand, as well as Chandigarh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a third consecutive term from his constituency in Varanasi.

With voting already completed in 486 seats across 28 states and Union Territories, the nation now awaits the outcome of this critical phase. The turnout in the first six phases has been recorded as follows: 66.14%, 66.71%, 65.68%, 69.16%, 62.2%, and 63.36% respectively.

The electoral battle in this final phase includes key states with significant political stakes. In Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Punjab, the competition is particularly fierce, with several high-profile candidates and key constituencies in play.

Counting of votes will commence on June 4, marking the culmination of a long and intense election period. The results will determine the composition of the next Lok Sabha and potentially set the course for India’s political landscape over the coming years.

The electorate’s decision in this final phase is crucial, as it includes pivotal constituencies that could influence the overall outcome of the election. As the nation prepares for the last leg of voting, the anticipation for the final results continues to build.
