- 5 years ago
On the occasions when the state assembly polls fall the same year as the general elections, which draws out the largest number of voters?
In the two elections held in the 1960s, soon after Maharashtra was formed, the voter turnout for Mumbai and the state was near identical in both the assembly and Lok Sabha polls.
In 1999, too, Maharashtra's voter turnout was virtually identical — 61% — in both the state and national elections. But from 1999 to 2009, the voter turnout in assembly elections has beaten that of the LS polls held the same year. In both 2004 and 2009, the turnout in the assembly elections was 9% more than the general elections.
