Goa Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Schedule, phase, seats, candidates, results all you need to knowGoa Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The state of Goa, holds a total of two Lok Sabha seats.

Goa Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The 18th Lok Sabha elections in the state of Goa were concluded on Tuesday, May 7, with both its Lok Sabha seats going into polling in phase 3. The state also followed the national trend in 2024 and registered the final voter turnout percentage of 75.20 per cent, which is slightly better than in 2019, when the state had a 75.14 per cent voter turnout. The results of both North Goa and South Goa seats will be announced on Tuesday, June 4, as per the ECI timeline.

National parties like the BJP and Congress have historically been the frontrunners in Goa, as even in the last Lok Sabha Elections, it was these two parties who shared one seat each in the state, making the landscape of upcoming mega elections even more complex.

However, with increased anti-incumbency and possible wins by regional parties in the state assembly elections, the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections will serve as a barometer for their national performance also.
