Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:

The district election administration has declared 63.07 percent as the final voting percentage recorded in the Aurangabad Lok Sabha Constituency on May 13. The polling percentage was 63.48 pc in the 2019 LS polls. Hence a drop of 0.41 pc voting has been jotted compared to the last parliamentary polls.

It may be noted that the total strength of voters in the constituency (recorded till April 25) was 20.60 lakh, out of which, 12.99 lakhs of them cast their votes, while more than 7.60 lakh voters turned their backs towards rendering their responsibility.

The displeasure in the voters was owing to the improper distribution of voters, change in the polling stations, missing names in the voters' list, or anger against political leaders for not resolving the local issues relating to amenities, etc. It is ascertained that these reasons could have prevented the voters from stepping out of their homes to vote. Besides, holidays for three consecutive days had also encouraged many families to move out of the station and enjoy holidays. No doubt, the administration tried its level best to enhance the voting percentage and had set a target to record more percentage compared to the voting in the last LS polls.

40 percent females did not turn up
