“2024 Lok Sabha Elections to be held on 16 April – Circular in the name of Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi”
What FACTLY found
The circulated document is not the actual schedule for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi clarified that it is an internal circular and was issued with an imaginary poll date to alert the district administration about the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. According to media reports, the actual schedule is likely to be released in late February or early March of 2024.
