Polling for the fourth phase of 2019 Lok Sabha elections in 72 constituencies across nine states including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Mumbai comes in as the highlight of this round. Meanwhile, six seats are going on polling in Madhya Pradesh and 13 in Rajasthan.
17 seats are going on polling in Maharashtra, 13 each in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, eight in West Bengal, six each in Madhya Pradesh and Odisha, five in Bihar, three in Jharkhand and part of the Anantnag constituency in Jammu and Kashmir.
