Google Doodle Celebrates Voting and Democracy
Google Doodle
The original Google Doodle was a kind of “out of office” notice sent out while company founders Larry and Sergey went on vacation.
Google unveiled a new Doodle on Friday that is devoted to the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. The Google Doodle “Doodle India National Elections 2024” was released to commemorate freedom and democracy in India as the first round of the Lok Sabha elections got underway today. In India, voting is regarded as a momentous occasion since it gives citizens the ability to instantly alter the country’s whole system of government. Large numbers of citizens leave their homes to fulfill their responsibility to their country.
Numerous state constituencies, including those in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Puducherry, and Jammu & Kashmir, are participating in the polling process. People were eagerly waiting in line to cast their votes in support of their preferred political party this morning at the polling places.
Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Phase 1
Today marks the beginning of the first round of voting for the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, which will cover 102 seats distributed among 21 states and Union Territories. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is seeking a strong mandate in order to win a third term in office. Concurrently, the opposition alliance, operating under the acronym I.N.D.I.A., is attempting to reclaim territory that has been lost due to defeats in the elections of 2014 and 2019.
Voting in all 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu, five in Uttarakhand, two in Arunachal Pradesh, two in Meghalaya, one in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, one in Mizoram, one in Nagaland, one in Puducherry, one in Sikkim, and one in Lakshadweep is planned for this first phase. Twelve seats in Rajasthan, eight in Uttar Pradesh, six in Madhya Pradesh, five in each of Assam and Maharashtra, four in Bihar, three in West Bengal, two in Manipur, and one in each of Tripura, Jammu and Kashmir, and Chhattisgarh will also have polling booths in operation.
Among the states voting is Tamil Nadu, where the Congress and established parties are up against a powerful challenge from a BJP that is on the rise and is led by state president K Annamalai.
Prominent figures including cabinet ministers Nitin Gadkari and Sarbanand Sonowal, congressman Gaurav Gogoi, DMK candidate Kanimozhi, and BJP candidate K Annamalai are all part of this phase’s electoral environment. Moreover competing for victory in this phase are seven Union Ministers: L Murugan, Bhupendra Yadav, Kiren Rijiju, Sanjeev Baliyan, Jitendra Singh, Arjun Ram Meghwal, and Nisith Pramanik.
