Bengaluru did it again: Nearly half of the voters give Lok Sabha polls a miss
Bengaluru's apathy towards voting continues in 2024 as well. On Friday, nearly half of the voters in India's Silicon Valley did not turn up to cast their franchise despite numerous efforts by the Election Commission.
Voting for Lok Sabha polls was held in 14 constituencies in Karnataka on Friday, where a 69.23 percent voter turnout was recorded. However, the percentage dropped significantly in three urban constituencies in the city, namely Bangalore Central, Bangalore North, and Bangalore South.
The approximate voter turnout in Bangalore Central was 52.81 percent, in Bangalore North it was 54.42 percent, and in Bangalore South it was 53.15 percent. However, the voter turnout in Bangalore Rural was approximately 67.29 percent. Mandya and Kolar had a voter turnout of 81.48 percent and 78.07 percent, respectively.
During the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the voter turnout was 54.32 percent in Bengaluru Central, 54.76 percent in Bengaluru North, and 53.70 percent in Bengaluru South.
