Bengaluru did it again. Once more, nearly half the citizens of the country’s tech hub gave Lok Sabha elections a miss on polling day last month, with the city recording a voter turnout of 54.76%.
As April 26 dawned, Bengaluru witnessed thousands of earlybirds making their way to the polling booths to cast their vote in Phase two of Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka.
Yet, according to the Election Commission, the three Lok Sabha constituencies in the city clocked the lowest turnout among the 14 that went to polls that day.
