The scheduled date for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 in Uttarakhand, a state known for its breathtaking beauty amidst the Himalayas, is April 19. With five Lok Sabha seats, Uttarakhand holds considerable significance in shaping the central government's composition during elections. The elections are set to take place in a single phase on April 19, encompassing all five Lok Sabha seats in the state.
Based on current polling patterns and historical trends, Uttarakhand is expected to continue favoring the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The saffron party's strong presence in the state is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the upcoming polls.

As the election date approaches, political parties are gearing up for a spirited contest, with the BJP poised to defend its stronghold in Uttarakhand's political landscape.
