Kerala Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Everything you need to know about the general elections in Kerala, including the schedule, phases, seats, and candidates

In Kerala, which is also referred to as “God’s own Country,” the Congress party maintains a strong presence during the Lok Sabha Elections, as evidenced by their majority win in the 2019 elections. In contrast, the BJP-led NDA did not secure any seats in the state.

Kerala will once again be a top priority for the INC, as their Prime Ministerial candidate, Rahul Gandhi, is also an MP from the Wayanad district in the state. The NDA, on the other hand, will aim to shift their strategy in the state to secure a stronger position in the upcoming 2024 General Elections. It is worth mentioning that Kerala has the highest voter turnout among all states, underscoring the importance of building strong connections with the state’s residents.

What day are the Lok Sabha elections in Kerala?

The 2024 Lok Sabha Elections in “God’s own Country” are anticipated to take place in late April or early May because ECI (Election Commission of India) typically arranges the Lok Sabha polling in Kerala during the first half of the election period. ECI will, however, make public the precise dates following their formal declaration of the 2024 General Elections schedule in late February or early March.

 

How many stages will Kerala consist of?

Kerala usually completes all of the constituencies’ polling in a single phase due to its organized voter base and voting procedure. Nonetheless, ECI has the option to buck the trend and continue conducting polls in two stages for the general elections in 2024.

 

Kerala has how many Lok Sabha constituencies?

Kerala is ranked twelveth among the states with the most Lok Sabha seats (20 total), of which two are reserved for SC candidates and eighteen are open seats. The INC-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) won 19 of the 20 seats in the 17th Lok Sabha Elections, making it the alliance’s most successful state.
