NEW DELHI: Google’s iconic logo was replaced with a symbolic representation of an index finger marked with ink on Saturday, commemorating the final phase of voting in India’s 18th Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
Users who click on the Doodle are directed to search results related to the latest updates on the general elections in India. Google has consistently featured similar doodles throughout the previous six phases of the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
The seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha elections is under way today with voting being held in 57 constituencies across eight states and one union territory.
This phase marks the conclusion of the election process that began on April 19 and has already covered six phases and 486 Lok Sabha seats.
The Election Commission of India said that over 10.06 crore electors, including approximately 5.24 crore male, 4.82 crore female, and 3,574 third gender electors, are expected to cast their votes in this phase.
A total of 904 candidates are in the fray, including prominent figures such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP leaders Ravi Shankar Prasad and Nishikant Dubey, Congress leaders Manish Tewari and Charanjit Singh Channi, SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal, and RJD leader Misa Bharti.
Kangana Ranaut is competing against Vikramaditya Singh of the Congress in the Mandi constituency. Union minister Anurag Thakur is running for office in Hamirpur.
Ravi Kishan, another actor who ventured into politics, is vying for the Gorakhpur seat. In Diamond Harbour, Abhishek Banerjee, the nephew of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, is contesting as a candidate from the Trinamool Congress party.
The high-voltage campaigning for the final phase of Lok Sabha polls concluded on Thursday. Throughout the seven-phased election campaign, PM Modi held more than 200 campaign events, including rallies and roadshows, in 75 days, while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held more than 100 rallies and public interaction programmes. Congress chief Kharge also held over 100 rallies, 20 press conferences, and had over 70 interviews and media interactions.
The ECI earlier said that polling for 28 States/UTs and 486 parliamentary constituencies has been completed smoothly and peacefully. The counting of votes will take place on June 4, determining the composition of the next government at the centre and in the states where assembly polls were held simultaneously.
