Meghalaya will have a total of 18,92,716 voters, who will exercise their franchise in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, slated to be held on April 11, 2019.

Shillong, which comprised 36 Assembly seats in Khasi and Jaiñtia hills, has 2,053 polling stations and Tura, which has 24 Assembly seats in Garo hills, has 1,114 polling stations.

The Chief Election Commissioner of India on Sunday announced the polls dates for the 17th Lok Sabha elections.
