Telangana turnout pegged at 70%, down from 73% in 2018
Thursday, 30 November 2023
Flagging voter participation in what was billed as Telangana's closest electoral contest in its brief nine-year history saw the estimated turnout on Thursday dip to 70% from the 2018 figure of 73.4%, coinciding with several exit polls either predicting a hung assembly or BRS's exit. Hyderabad district reported just over 40% polling till 5pm, well below the state average and matching the trend set in the previous assembly polls, when less than half of the Greater Hyderabad electorate voted.
