Lok Sabha Elections Phase 3: As the voting commenced on 92 seats across 12 states and Union Territories in the third phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections on Tuesday, voters queued up to cast their vote amid tight security arrangements. Among the voters was a differently-abled voter, Rahul, who was brought to a polling booth in Uttar Pradesh's Kasganj by his father to exercise his franchise.

 After casting his vote, Rahul said, "I have voted earlier too (for earlier elections). It feels great".

The states where polling is underway include Assam (4 seats), Bihar (5), Chhattisgarh (7), Goa (2), Gujarat (25), Karnataka (14), Madhya Pradesh (8), Maharashtra (11), Uttar Pradesh (10), West Bengal (4), Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (2). Some of the major names contesting in phase 3 voting of Lok Sabha elections 2024 include Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Dimple Yadav, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Supriya Sule against her sister-in-law Sunetra Pawar.

The polling schedule for phase 3  is set to commence at 7 AM and conclude at 5 PM. However, the voting date for the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir has been rescheduled to May 25 due to logistical and connectivity issues, with the vote count slated for June 4.
