At 65.2%, Maharashtra records highest voter turnout since 1995 assembly election
Hindustan TimesMaharashtra, which went to the polls on November 20 to elect a new 288-member assembly, recorded a voter turnout of 65.02 per cent—the highest since the 1995 assembly poll that saw a turnout of 71.7 per cent. The turnout also surpasses the 61.39 per cent recorded during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and is also higher than the 61.4 per cent in the 2019 assembly election. According to the Election Commission of India, the voter turnout recorded by 11:30pm on Wednesday showed that, out of the 36 districts in the state, Kolhapur—home to ten assembly constituencies—had the highest turnout at 76.25 per cent. Despite the consistent national voter turnout exceeding 66 per cent in the past three parliamentary elections, Maharashtra has struggled to match this figure, with its turnout averaging 60-61 per cent.
