Well, India votes on April 19, 26; May 7, 13, 20, 25 and June 1 (7 phases - time required to transport security forces from one place to another) along with elections in four states (Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh) and in 22 Assembly constituencies in various sates.
1.05 million polling booths, 5.5 million electronic voting machines with paper records, proceedings at sensitive booths will be viedo-recorded, 18.2 million government officials will help in conducting the elections (those who will conduct the elections and the security forces who will help for the peaceful conduct of the elections). Results on June 4, all in one day for all who vote out of 969 million (average some 66%), since the process is electronic.
An interesting first: Candidates who have criminal cases against them, will have to give three advertisements in newspapers about them.
“Candidates with criminal antecedents will have to publish their crime records in newspapers etc. 3 times before the poll.
Also, political parties will have to give a list of candidates with criminal antecedents in home page of their websites. Also, reasons of their selection.”
As for how the elections will be held in 2029, it is for the peoples' representatives selected in this election to decide.
Other firsts: Handicapped and people over 85 can vote from home.

There's Not Much to Celebrate in EC Saying Candidates Have to Declare Criminal Records
All that the announcement does is to follow exactly what several judgments of the Supreme Court have ordered.
