The fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections, covering 49 constituencies across six states and two Union Territories, is set for Monday, May 20.
Previous rounds occurred on April 19, 26, May 7, and 13, with the final two phases scheduled for May 25 and June 1.
Of the 49 Lok Sabha seats, 14 are from Uttar Pradesh, 13 from Maharashtra, 7 from West Bengal, 5 from Bihar, 3 from Jharkhand, 5 from Odisha and one each from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Polling will begin at 7 am and end at 6 pm, though those in line by 6 pm can still vote.
This phase features the smallest number of constituencies, with just 49 seats hosting 695 candidates.
The Representation of People Act, 1951, mandates businesses and establishments within the voting area to grant a holiday on election day.
This ensures that employees receive paid leave without any deduction from their salary.
