3. CEC Sunil Arora said the relevant form for candidates with criminal antecedents to declare their cases has been modified.

Such candidates will have to place advertisements in local newspapers and television channels for declaring them. Any incomplete information will lead to disqualification of their candidatures, he said.

4. Anantnag Lok Sabha seat in Jammu and Kashmir will go to polls in three phases due to security reasons.

5. Three special observers have been appointed for Jammu and Kashmir. Special observers will e sent to certain sensitive states.

The Election Commission, in its press conference on Sunday, said that the total electorate registered is approximately 900 million compared to 814.5 million in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. This marks an increase of more than 84 million electors, the Election Commission said.

Over 15 million electors are in 18-19 years age group. Commission allowed enrolment of transgender persons with gender written as "Others" in the electoral rolls since 2012. The number of electors enrolled as "Others" gender is 38,325. 71,735 overseas electors have been enrolled in the current electoral rolls.
