The high-profile battle of the ballots in the Vokkaliga heartland of Mandya concluded on Friday with the fate of the candidates sealed in the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the results slated to be announced on June 4.
The turnout was robust with voting percentage being 74.87 at 5 p.m. on Friday and was close to the final outing percentage of 80.56 recorded during the 2019 parliamentary elections.
Mandya went to polls in the second phase with 14 other constituencies in the State and voting was dull to low between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. when only 7.70 per cent of the eligible voters exercised their franchise.
