Poll panel flags urban apathy ahead of Karnataka elections: ‘cause of concern’

Hindustan Times  

Election Commission of India on Wednesday raised concerns over the urban apathy towards voting ahead of the Karnataka assembly elections 2023. Addressing a press conference to announce the schedule of general election to Karnataka assembly due in May, chief election commissioner Rajiv Kumar said urban apathy is a cause of concern as he highlighted that lowest voter turnout was recorded in Bengaluru area – BBMP, BBMP, BBMP, Bangalore Urban – in 2013 and 2018 state elections. These four districts in India’s IT Hub had the lowest voter turnout in 2013 and 2018 Karnataka Assembly Elections, much less than the state average,” Kumar said, adding that 88% of polling stations in these four districts are in urban areas. Highlighting the trend, the top election official also pointed to the low voter turnout in urban areas in 2019 general elections and recently in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly elections.
