From the newsroom of the Washington Post.

I'm Kevin. This is Kriya, I'll tell you the Washington Post. How are you?

Today, India's Prime Minister seeks a second term in the biggest election ever.

A revival for Florida's Space Coast and a college class graduates without debt.

Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of India. He was elected in 2014 and he is running for re-election right now.

India's election results are expected this week. The election is so massive, it took six weeks to conduct.

It's a huge challenge. First of all, just in terms of geography, they have to do a lot of traveling.

They have to run all over the place, usually in helicopters, to campaign.

There are 900 million voters, 450 parties, but all eyes are on one man. Narendra Modi.

One of the things that Modi has done quite successfully is to try to turn what is effectively lots of local and regional elections into a national presidential-style election.

India doesn't have a presidential election, it has a parliamentary election, but the way Modi has campaigned, he has made it feel like you're voting for him, even though you're not directly voting for him.

That has been the successful strategy in 2014 and that's what he's trying again to do now.
