“A fake message is being shared on Whats App regarding schedule for Lok Sabha Elections 2024… The message is Fake. No dates have been announced so far by ECI. Election Schedule is announced by the Commission through a press conference,” the poll panel said.
The circulation of the viral election schedule came after an internal note by the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi mentioned April 16 as the tentative date for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
However, the tentative date was given to officials to speed up their preparations regarding the fair conduct of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“Some media queries are coming referring to a circular by @CeodelhiOffice to clarify whether April 16 is tentative poll day for Lok Sabha elections. It is clarified that this date was mentioned only for ‘reference’ for officials to plan activities as per Election Planner of ECI,” the poll panel said.
The official announcement of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 is likely to be made after the first week of March.
