Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024 Sees Highest Turnout Since 1995

Voter turnout in Maharashtra during the recent assembly elections was the highest ever in 30 years. Over 65.1% of the eligible voters turned out to cast their ballots, as per the figures at 11:45 PM on Wednesday. This marks a significant increase compared to previous elections, including the 61.39% recorded during this year's Lok Sabha polls and the 61.4% from the 2019 assembly elections. Notably, this is the highest turnout since 1995, when it reached 71.69%.

Mumbai: Former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray has claimed that the Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government’s Ladki Bahin scheme won’t have any impact on the state assembly elections Wednesday, saying the scheme was more about an “owner-slave” relation with the state’s women voters rather than a “brother-sister”’ bond.
