Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Andhra Pradesh is one of the states that had 2024 Lok Sabha polling on all their seats in one single phase. The state opened their polling booths in phase 4 on Monday, May 13, 2024. Andhra Pradesh, which recorded an 80.38 per cent voter turnout in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, also followed the national trend of 2024 and recorded a 78.25 per cent voter turnout. However, this was still way better than the national average of phase 4, which stands at 67.25 per cent.
The state of Andhra Pradesh is one of the few states where the national parties have struggled continuously during the Lok Sabha Elections, as the local parties of the state have a strong hold over its masses due to the strong sense of regional emotions and landscape.
The state also became an important hotspot for the Congress, as in both 2004 and 2009 Lok Sabha Elections, it was the swing votes of Andhra Pradesh that helped them to form government in the centre. On the other hand, BJP despite winning two seats in 2014 and zero seats in 2019, were able to form government in the centre, but, with the entry of the I.N.D.I.A alliance into the picture, that consists many of the regional parties from the state, can turn out to be troublesome for their mission of 400+ seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
The state of Andhra Pradesh, is often part of the list of opening states during any Lok Sabha Elections, which was the case during the 2019 General Elections also. However, as per the ECI (Election Commission of India) official announcement, the 18th Lok Sabha elections on all the 25 seats of Andhra Pradesh will be held in phase four, i.e., on May 13, 2024 (Sunday).
Phase 4: Date of polling- May 13
The General Elections 2024 in Andhra Pradesh will be held in single phase. Even in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, Andhra Pradesh witnessed voting in all their constituencies in a single phase and following the trend ECI has once again decided to hold the polls in a single phase in the state, i.e., phase four.
The state of Andhra Pradesh, alongside Rajasthan, is the 9th largest state in respect to the number of Lok Sabha seats, i.e., 25. Out of the 25 seats, four seats are reserved for SC candidates, while one seat is reserved for SC candidates. During the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections YSR Congress Party came out as the largest party in the state, by winning 22 of the 25 assigned seats.
