More women voted in nine States: EC data

-The Hindu

Highest figure recorded in Meghalaya

New Delhi:
If the overall voter turnout in the four phases of the Lok Sabha elections has been higher than in 2014, there is one more reason to cheer. Women voters have outnumbered men in several States and Union Territories, according to phase-wise data released by the Election Commission.

More than 20.31 crore women voted as against a little above 21.5 crore men. The poll percentages in the four phases were 69.5, 69.44, 68.40 and 65.51.

The first phase was conducted in 91 constituencies across 18 States and two Union Territories on April 11. In nine States, there was a higher women turnout. The highest of 52.13% was recorded in Meghalaya where there was a jump of almost 2.5% in the overall participation (71.32%) compared with the 2014 election.
