The Karnataka General Election 2024 Phase 2 witnessed a significant voter turnout, with over 69% of eligible voters casting their votes. Despite the Election Commission's efforts, urban areas like Bangalore Central and North saw nearly half of the eligible voters abstain from participating in the Lok Sabha elections. In this heated electoral battle, prominent figures such as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, software industry icon N R Narayana Murthy, and Rajya Sabha member Sudha were at the center of attention.

The polling in Karnataka's Lok Sabha constituencies was a mixed bag, with Mandya recording the highest turnout at 81% while Bangalore Central had the lowest at 53%. Experts noted that the relatively low turnout could be attributed to the scorching summer heat, with temperatures reaching 37 degrees Celsius on election day. Despite the challenges, voters in Bengaluru braved the heat to exercise their democratic rights peacefully.

In the southern part of Karnataka, polling across the 14 Lok Sabha constituencies was largely peaceful, showcasing the civic responsibility demonstrated by the voters. The Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Phase 2, held on April 26, saw an overall voter turnout of over 63%, indicating a substantial engagement of the electorate in the democratic process.

As Karnataka gears up for the upcoming phases of the Lok Sabha elections, it is crucial to monitor the voter turnout closely. The active participation of citizens in shaping the future of the state through the electoral process remains a cornerstone of democracy, highlighting the importance of every vote counted and every voice heard.
