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.

Did Exit Polls Get 2019 Maharashtra & Jharkhand Verdicts Right? A Recap As 2024 Polls End Today

Elections 2024: Exit polls in India are facing something of a credibility crisis after getting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and Haryana assembly poll predictions terribly wrong. With Maharashtra and Jharkhand voting Wednesday, all eyes are on the exit polls in the evening to see if they get it right this time. The final verdict will be out on Saturday, November 23.
