Much of the focus in this phase will be on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's seat of Varanasi in UP, which he is hoping to win for a third straight time.
The seventh and final phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha election begins today.
Fifty-seven seats across seven states - 13 in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, nine in Bengal, eight in Bihar, six in Odisha, four in Himachal Pradesh, and three in Jharkhand, as well as Chandigarh - will complete a mammoth exercise that began 55 days ago - on April 19.
Ahead of this phase of voting ex-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh launched a final attack on the BJP, writing a letter urging voters to make the most of a "final chance to ensure our democracy and Constitution are protected from repeated assaults by a despotic regime".
