Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called upon every voter to ensure their “votes count” as polling commenced in 58 seats across 7 states and one Union Territory in the 6th phase of the Lok Sabha election. Through his official platform, he emphasized the importance of active participation in the democratic process, stating that democracy thrives when citizens are engaged.
“I urge all those voting in the 6th phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to vote in large numbers. Every vote counts, make yours count too! Democracy thrives when its people are engaged and active in the electoral process,” PM Narendra Modi conveyed.
He specifically urged women and youth voters to turn out in significant numbers.
The polling in this phase covers eight seats each in Bihar and West Bengal, seven in Delhi, 10 in Haryana, four in Jharkhand, 14 in Uttar Pradesh, and one in Jammu & Kashmir. Additionally, Odisha will vote for 42 assembly constituencies and six Lok Sabha seats.

Opposition parties like Trinamool Congress, National Conference, and Samajwadi Party secured five seats collectively, while the Congress won none.
