Electoral system
The 543 elected MPs will be elected from single-member constituencies using first-
past-the-post voting. The President of India nominates an additional two members
from the Anglo-Indian community if he believes the community is under-represented.
[7]

Eligible voters must be Indian citizens, 18 or older, an ordinary resident of the

polling area of the constituency and possess a valid voter identification card
issued by the Election Commission of India. Some people convicted of electoral or
other offences are barred from voting.[8]

Earlier there were speculations that the Modi Government might advance the 2019
general election to counter the anti-incumbency factor, however learning from its
past blunder of preponing election made by Vajpayee Government it decided to go
into election as per the normal schedule[9] which was announced by Election
Commission of India (ECI) on 10 March 2019, after which Model Code of Conduct was
applied with immediate effect.[10]

Election schedule
The election is scheduled to be held in 7 phases. The date of counting is 23 May.
In Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal election will be held in 7 phases
(maximum). The polling for Anantanag Lok Sabha constituency in the state of Jammu
and Kashmir will be held in 3 phases, the first of its kind.

Campaign
On 12 January 2019, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi launched the Bharatiya
Janata Party's election campaign, which sought a second term in government.[11]
Commentators have suggested that Modi and BJP will base their campaign on Hindu
nationalism, relative to their 2014 campaign, which had emphasised job creation and
economic development.[12][13]

On the same day, both Mayawati (president of the Bahujan Samaj Party) and Akhilesh
Yadav (president of the Samajwadi Party) announced an alliance to contest 76 seats
out of the 80 in Uttar Pradesh and the alliance will not fight in Amethi and Rae
Bareli as they are represented by Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. The alliance did
not include Congress, which Mayawati explained: "Including Congress in the alliance
will hurt SP-BSP prospects as Congress's votes do not get transferred." The
alliance was the second of its kind with a similar coalition formed 25 years ago in
1993.[14]

A number of issues are expected to be of importance in this election. These include

the country's recent conflict with Pakistan, unemployment, and national security.
[15]

Among the interventions by the EC was a ban on the use of images of Pulwama
martyrs. Later, CEO Teeka Ram Meena put a ban on the use of issues related to the
Sabarimala temple during the poll campaign.

Issues
Alleged undermining of democratic institutions and processes
Opposition parties have claimed that the NDA government is destroying democratic
institutions and processes[16]. The judiciary[17], parliament, media, Reserve Bank
of India[18], Central Bureau of Investigation[19], Right to Information Act[20]
are claimed to have been undermined by the government. Opposition parties have
campaigned heavily on this issue.[21]

Citizenship amendment bill

Main article: Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016

The citizenship amendment bill brought to parliament plans to allow persecuted

minorities of the countries born due to partition of British India (such as
Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan) into Indian citizenship[22]. The bill has led
to political backlash in Assam and caused unrest in other parts of India's
northeast, with protests by ethnic Assamese groups.[23] On 7 January 2019, 70
organisations across Assam observed "Disgust Day" and protested the bill[24]. On 29
January 2019, 10 Northeast India political parties and National Democratic Alliance
ally Janata Dal (United) met in Assam and decided to oppose the bill[25].

On 8 February 2019, Modi began a visit to three northeast states[26]. To protest

against the bill, the All Assam Students Union raised slogans and raised black
flags to prime minister Narendra Modi in Guwahati[27]. Due to protests,
restrictions on assembly were imposed in Guwahati under Section 144 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure[28]. Asom Gana Parishad staged a march with torches.

Unemployment
Main article: Unemployment in India

As of at least 7 February 2019, the NDA government denied the existence of any job
crisis.[29] Prime minister Narendra Modi claimed that jobs are not lacking but data
on jobs has been lacking.[30][31] Government has delayed releasing of the official
report on unemployment.[32] Two government officials, including the acting
chairperson of National Statistical Commission, resigned, protesting the
withholding of the Annual Survey on Employment and Unemployment for the year 2017–
18.[33] A leaked version of the report showed unemployment rate in India at a 45-
year high during 2017–2018.[34] The government has claimed that the report was not
final.[35]
