This year, 541 Lok Sabha seats are going to be up for grabs. It's going to be the biggest, the mega event in the largest democracy of the world. A large number of young voters who have turned 18 after the last elections are going to join the electoral fray.

With over 900 million total voters, this will be the biggest show of democracy in the history of the world.
