The voter participation in Wednesday’s election in the three urban constituencies in Mysuru remained gloomy, like the last election, as the voter turnout was poor despite multiple campaigns, initiatives and activities carried out under SVEEP for increasing the voting percentage.
Compared to the polling in the rural pockets in the district, urban voters continued to display their apathy, not stepping out of their homes to vote. Nearly 40 per cent of voters in the three constituencies did not vote on Wednesday contrary to the enthusiasm shown to the festival of democracy in rural Mysuru which was overwhelming.
Despite sincere efforts by the Mysuru district administration and the Mysuru SVEEP Committee, Wednesday’s voter turnout in Krishnaraja was 59.55 per cent while Chamaraja and Narasimharaja recorded 61.05 per cent and 63.61 per cent voting respectively.
