About these dates
- Election Commission of India — Terms of the Houses
- Later elections are projected about five years on. A House can be dissolved early, and simultaneous elections (the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024) would change the dates.
- Seat numbers are the current ones. A delimitation after the next Census can change them, and one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha and the Assemblies will then be reserved for women (Constitution (One Hundred and Sixth Amendment) Act, 2023).
- Starter issues were drafted by the admin from public reporting and official sources, with AI help, and contain no invented figures. Vote, add what is missing, or suggest a correction.
