In 199 of the 200 constituencies where voting is taking place, more than 5.25 crore people will decide the fate of 1,862 candidates using electronic voting machines.

Six Lok Sabha MPs, one Rajya Sabha member, and 59 MLAs have received tickets from the Opposition BJP, while the Congress has fielded 97 existing MLAs, including seven Independents and one BJP member.

Aam Aadmi Party, Bharatiya Tribal Party, Bharat Adivasi Party, Communist Party of India (Marxist), and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul are among the other parties running in the election.
