Elections in the Republic of India in 2018 included by-elections to the Lok Sabha, elections to the Rajya Sabha, elections to of eight states and numerous other by-elections to state legislative assemblies, councils and local bodies.

The elections were widely considered crucial to the ruling National Democratic Alliance and the opposition United Progressive Alliance for the upcoming general elections in 2019. In seven of the eight states that went to polls this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party was in direct contest with the Indian National Congress. Further, the election results{{cite web|url=http://karnatakaelections2018.com/karnataka-election-results/|title=Karnataka Elections Results LIVE Coverage|website=Karnataka Elections 2018|language=en|access-date=2018-04-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612145205/https://karnatakaelections2018.com/karnataka-election-results/|archive-date=2018-06-12|url-status=live}} in the states of Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram and Rajasthan are considered a barometer of the pulse of the public before the general elections. Elections to the upper house where the ruling National Democratic Alliance does not command a majority are expected to strengthen its position.

Background

= Political system =

According to the Constitution of India, elections should take place to the parliament and state legislative assemblies every five years, unless an emergency is under operation. Further, any vacancy caused by death or resignation must be filled through an election within six months of occurrence of such vacancy. The elections to the lower houses (in Parliament and in the states) use first past the post system - the candidate with a plurality of the votes wins the election.

Elections to one-third of the seats of the upper house of the Parliament - the Rajya Sabha are conducted every two years. The members of the upper house are elected indirectly by the state legislative assemblies on the basis of proportional representation. Members to the state legislative councils (in states which have an upper house) are elected indirectly through local bodies.{{Cite news|url=https://www.amarujala.com/election|title=2018 Legislative Assembly Election|work=amarujala.com|access-date=2018-10-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181025074935/https://www.amarujala.com/election|archive-date=2018-10-25|url-status=live}}

All the elections at the central and state level are conducted by the Election Commission of India while local body elections are conducted by state election commissions.{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/the_function.aspx|title=Election Commission of India|website=eci.nic.in|access-date=2018-02-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180211152557/http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/the_function.aspx|archive-date=2018-02-11|url-status=live}}

The election led to a hung assembly, with the Bharatiya Janata Party emerging as the single largest party, with 104 seats, but failing to win a majority of seats and popular votes.
