美国有线新闻 CNN 印度大选即将结束

（单词翻译）

The end is in sight for India's marathon election. It began in early April. It lasts more than five weeks. It's carried out in several phases across the world's largest democracy and that's why this is said to be the world's largest democratic exercise. The seventh and final stage of voting begins on Sunday. Results are expected to be announced on May 23rd and that's when the nation's 1.3 billion people will know whether the incumbent¹ prime minister will remain in power or if India's leadership will change.

India is a densely² populated country. In land area, it's a little over a third the size of the United States, but India's eligible³ voters alone number 900 million people. That's almost three times the size of the U.S. population. In addition to the challenges posed by an ongoing⁴ multi-phase election, there are issues of misinformation in the information age that are causing confusion and violence in the south Asian country.
