The Hindu  

The Election Commission of India is planning targeted intervention to increase voting in 266 parliamentary constituencies from nine States and Union Territories which have had extremely low turnouts.

While addressing the Municipal Commissioners and DEOs, Mr. Rajiv Kumar said that a total of 266 constituencies with low voter turnout have been identified and asked all Municipal Commissioners, DEOs, and State Chief Electoral Officers concerned to find ways to reach out to voters in a targeted manner.
