The 2019 General Election will be held in 7 phases and it will be held from April 11 to May 19. March 28 is the last date for withdrawal of nominations. Counting will be held on May 23.

First phase will be held on April 11, second phase on April 18, third phase on April 23, fourth phase on April 29, fifth phase on May 6, sixth phase on May 12 and seven phase on May 19.

As expected, the election to all the 25 Lok Sabha seats and 175 assembly constituencies in Andhra Pradesh will be held on April 11 in the first phase itself. The 17 MP seats in Telangana will also go to polls in first phase on April 11. This is in tune with the wishes of the YCP leaders for conducting the elections to twin Telugu states in a single phase. The TDP leaders’ fears have come true in this respect. The ruling party leaders suspected this when YCP leaders like Vijaya Sai Reddy met with the Election Commission officials in Delhi recently.
