The Lok Sabha constituency codes maintained by Election Commission of India will be imported in Wikidata as a part of the ongoing data import related to results and turnouts of Indian general elections. The codes might be useful later for cool visualizations related to the evolution of Indian democracy. Bodhisattwa (talk) 07:38, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

- Support This is from the Election Commission of India (Q2724317), which is a central government agency and election regulator. These codes are fundamental to analyzing elections in India, which is more timely with the 2019 Indian general election (Q28164181) just concluding. I expect that there are about 545 of these, which is the number of MPs. These codes describe an election constituency defined by the ECI. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
