Lok Sabha 2019 elections 2019 will elect 542 members for the Parliament across all the Lok Sabha constituencies in India. The voter turnout on the whole in the country for these elections was 6 percent among the total number of around 900 million eligible voters registered on the electoral rolls. The total number of contestants in 2019 Lok Sabha elections is 8,049. The final results will be available only by evening on Thursday May 23, 2019.
During 2019 elections, the Election Commission introduced VVPAT (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail) accompanying all the EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines). A Chennai based NGO PIL voiced its concern on the dependability of the EVMs and urged the Supreme Court for ordering the counting of all the VVPAT slips during the 2019 elections. The Supreme Court has dismissed the PIL and reinstated the April 8 judgment that directed the counting of the VVPAT slips of 5 EVMs for each assembly segment. This process is expected to make the announcement of the results a bit slower than the earlier counting.
