Warangal, Khammam, and Nalgonda Graduate MLC constituency faces lacklustre response in voter registration drive

Despite the efforts of district Collectors serving as District Election Officers and a few aspiring candidates eyeing the Warangal, Khammam, and Nalgonda Graduate MLC constituency to ensure registration of more graduate voters, there is subdued response among graduates for the upcoming election.

Various factors are being attributed to this, including limited campaigning efforts by political parties, particularly the ruling Congress and the main opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Political sources suggest that the current enrolment may not reach three lakh voters. In contrast, the 2021 registration witnessed a total of 5,05,565 citizens across the constituency, spanning 34 Assembly constituencies in 12 districts. The graduate voter strength has seen a significant rise from just over 2.81 lakh in the 2015 elections to surpassing 5.05 lakh in 2021.
