（新德里16日综合电）印度选举委员会星期六（3月16日）宣布，全国大选将于4月开始投票，普遍预计印度总理莫迪将成功赢得第三个任期。
法新社社报道，约9亿7000万名印度人有资格参与这个史上规模最大的一次民主投票，投票将持续六周。
投票将分七个阶段进行，第一个投票日为4月19日，最后一个阶段为6月1日。全国的投票结果将于6月4日一起统计，并通常会在同一天公布。
73岁的莫迪已经开始了非正式的竞选活动，他希望重现2014年和2019年大选的压倒性胜利。皮尤研究中心去年的一项民调发现，近80%的印度人支持莫迪。
印度选举委员会称，这次的大选将有超过100万个投票站投入运作，并由1500万名投票站工作人员负责管理。
