Phase two of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections started with 88 constituencies across 13 states and one Union Territory heading to the polls. The India Meteorological Department forecasts normal weather, but heatwaves persist in many areas. The Election Commission assured voters of comfortable conditions at polling stations, with extended voting hours until 6 PM in selected areas of Bihar due to the heatwaves. Adequate facilities, including water, shade, toilets, ramps, and assistance for the elderly and disabled, are in place. Special measures are implemented to tackle the hot weather, ensuring a smooth voting experience for all.
