Moderate temperatures aided in achieving a satisfactory poll percentage of 70.80% by 5 p.m. in Vizianagaram. The final voting percentage is expected to be between 75% to 80%, according to officials.
The voter turnout was also satisfactory between 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. as the temperature was only 32 degree Celsius, enabling the public to throng polling booths. The temperature, which even touched 40 degrees a few days ago, dropped significantly on polling day — much to the relief of polling staff as well as voters.
