A record 100% turnout of transgender voters was recorded across 17 constituencies in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, as reported by the state’s Chief Electoral Officer. This remarkable achievement is seen as a significant step towards inclusive participation in the electoral process.
According to the Chief Electoral Officer, this turnout reflects the Election Commission of India's commitment to promoting inclusivity in the democratic process. Over 48,000 transgender individuals registered to vote in the recent elections, marking a notable increase from the 2019 polls where 39,075 transgender voters participated.
