Mumbai Lok Sabha Election 2024 Voting Live: EC asks city dwellers to turnout in higher numbers
On the eve of phase five of Lok Sabha polls, the Election Commission on Sunday pointed out that Mumbai, Thane and Lucknow have shown apathy towards voting in the past and asked these city dwellers to turnout in higher numbers.
The poll authority noted that in the past these cities have “suffered” from urban apathy in voting.
“The Commission specially calls upon these city dwellers to erase the stigma by turning out in higher numbers,” it said.
On May 3 too, while referring to voter turnout in phase two, the Commission had said it was “disappointed” with the turnout level in some metropolitan cities. The EC had last month assembled many metro Commissioners here to work out a strategy to fight urban apathy. Urban and youth apathy is described as a phenomenon when young voters and those living in metros fail to turn up at polling stations on election day. So far, the last four phases have registered a voter turnout of 66.95 per cent.
