The Election Commission of India (ECI) had provisionally given the polling day as April 16, 2024, for the purpose of reference and for calculation of start and end dates in election planning, a notification from the Election Commission said. Later speculations were rife that Lok Sabha elections can be held on April 16.
However, clarifying the same, Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer on Tuesday, January 23, squashed the buzz about 2024 Lok Sabha elections being held on April 16. The Delhi CEO's office posted on X (formerly Twitter) shortly afterwards, emphasising that the date was "in reference only for officials".

If reports are to be believed, the poll dates will likely be announced in February end or early March.
