The ECI (Election Commission of India) has made the final voter turnout recorded for the primary two phases of the highly awaited and historic Lok Sabha polls available now in the form of data. Based on what the ECI reported, both election phases had a striking voter turnout: over 66% of the eligible voter population cast their ballot—a voter turnout rate, ECI said.
The first phase on April 19 resulted in 66.14% of voters casting their ballots, while in the second phase conducted on April 26, more people voted; thus, turnout rose to 66.71%. Therefore, behind this new optimism, electoral parties are tirelessly redoubling their efforts, and the campaigns for the remaining constituencies are peaking now.
