Not only were far fewer women than men registered to vote, but even fewer actually showed up to vote. In 1967, for instance, female turnout was 41 per cent to 61 per cent for men, a far larger difference than the average margin of victory in a constituency. <br /> <br /> Not any more. In the first four phases of Bihar&rsquo;s 2015 assembly elections, female voter turnout has surpassed male turnout. With just 9 lakh more male voters than female voters in the four phases, or fewer than 5,000 votes for each assembly constituency, women are finally in a position to swing the outcome. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;The story of the growing participation of India&rsquo;s women in its elections is one of the defining features of the last 60 years of elections and political parties are beginning to take notice of the changing tide.<br /> <br /> Male voter turnout in Lok Sabha elections has grown only slightly, from 60.87 per cent of registered voters in 1971 to 67 per cent in 2014. Female voter turnout grew by more than twice as much in the same period, from 49.11 per cent to 65.54 per cent.<br /> <br /> In 21 of 30 Indian States, female voter turnout exceeded male turnout in their most recent assembly elections, an analysis of Election Commission (EC) data shows.
