Goa and Punjab go to polls to decide next CM

Goa and Punjab go to polls on February 4 as assembly elections begin in five states. Lakhs of voters started voting at 7 am in Goa and 8 am in Punjab, both ruled by the BJP (in Punjab, with partner SAD). Congress is desperately looking for a win after its recent electoral defeats. The AAP is debuting in both states. Tap in for details.

Polling for 40 seats in Goa is being held in a single phase. All will be covered by the e-ballot. Over 11 lakh people will vote from 7 am to 5 pm across 1,642 polling booths. BJP's Manohar Parrikar, Congress's Digambar Kamat and AAP's Elvis Gomes are key candidates. In 2012, BJP won 24 seats with its partner MGP while Congress won seven.

Punjab
Three-cornered fight between political bigwigs in Punjab

1.98 crore voters across 22,600 polling booths will vote between 8 am and 5 pm in Punjab. The three-way single-phase battle between the SAD-BJP, Congress and the AAP, has 1,145 candidates fighting for 117 assembly seats. SAD's Parkash Singh Badal, Congress's Amarinder Singh, and AAP's Bhagwant Mann are testing their luck. Congress won 40.09% votes in 2012, SAD 34.73%, and the BJP 7.18%.

PM urges voters

PM Narendra Modi tweeted, "Urging people of Punjab and Goa to turnout in record numbers and vote in the Assembly elections. I particularly urge my young friends to vote," Young voters, aged between 18-30 years, constitute 27% of Punjab's total voters and 23% of Goa's, according to the Election Commission. Young voters are expected to influence results and turnout in Punjab and Goa.
