For starters, nearly 100 million people have been added to the voter rolls since the last national election in 2009. Roughly 814 million people – more than the populations of the US, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and Bangladesh combined – will be eligible to vote, making the upcoming election the largest since independence in 1947.
首先，在2009年全国选举以来，选民数量增加了近一亿人。大约8.14亿人——比美国、印尼、巴西、俄罗斯和孟加拉国总人口还要多——拥有选举资格，这意味着此次大选将是印度1947年独立以来规模最大的一次。
