Editorial context

Why this date is being tracked

The 2029 Indian Lok Sabha general election is the 18th general election to India's lower house of Parliament, expected April-May 2029, ending the term of the 17th Lok Sabha sworn in June 2024. It is the world's largest single democratic exercise: India's 2024 election registered roughly 968 million eligible voters, 642 million of whom cast ballots across seven phases (66.2% turnout) per the Election Commission of India. The 2029 cycle is the first national contest after the long-delayed 2027 census, which will trigger a constitutionally-mandated delimitation of Lok Sabha seats (currently 543) — possibly the most consequential redistricting since the 1976 freeze. The incumbent BJP-led NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi enters seeking an unprecedented fourth consecutive term.
