Andhra Pradesh Elections 2024: Today, the suspense surrounding the final poll turnout in Andhra Pradesh has been lifted, as the Election Commission has revealed the conclusive figures. Mukesh Kumar Meena, the EC chief, declared that an impressive 80.66% of eligible voters cast their ballots in AP.
This figure represents the turnout recorded via Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). When factoring in the additional 1.07% accounted for by postal ballots, the total climbs to 81.73%. This slight increase from the 79.8% turnout witnessed in 2019 may seem marginal, but it signifies a notable uptick in civic engagement. Indeed, compared to the previous election cycle, the 2024 turnout reflects a nearly 2% rise, a significant shift in overall participation.
TDP claims that the anti-incumbency sentiment in the AP is to blame for the increased turnout, but the ruling YSR Congress believes that the YCP’s support from rural and female voters is the real driver of this turnout. -Andhra Pradesh Elections 2024
