India's elections, the largest in the world, began on April 19th and results will be announced on June 4th.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in office since 2014, has been a central figure in the campaign, with supporters citing positive changes while critics accuse him of using islamophobic language.
The scale of the election is immense, with 969 million eligible voters, including 18 million first-time voters, and involving

15 million security staff and polling officials.
High temperatures, reaching nearly 40°C, have posed challenges for voters and politicians alike, potentially impacting voter turnout in some areas.

Modern technologies like artificial intelligence, including deepfake, played a significant role in the election, while controversies such as the arrest of Delhi's chief minister on corruption charges added to the drama.
