Reflecting a general trend witnessed across the State, the two Lok Sabha constituencies in Thiruvananthapuram district had a considerable drop in voting percentage. As per the information from the Election Commission of India (ECI) at 8.30 p.m. on Friday, the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency recorded 66.46% polling, while the Attingal constituency recorded 69.40% voting percentage.
The polling percentages this year are a considerable drop from the 73.45% and 74.23% recorded in Thiruvananthapuram and Attingal respectively in the 2019 general elections. Owing to the high day time temperatures in recent weeks, voters made a beeline to the polling booths quite early in the day to complete their voting process before the searing heat wave set in.
