Jaipur recorded highest ever vote percentage

There were elections in 12 seats in Rajasthan yesterday, May 6, 2019. It was the 5th round of Loksabha elections where a total of 51 constituencies elected their MPs. Despite the scorching heat, in the summer season, large numbers of voters come out to vote and elect their MPs in Rajasthan. 

Jaipur voters came out to set a record even the last Loksabha election in 2014. The voting percentage was 65% in Jaipur and 60 percent in Jaipur rural. They have broken the last record by coming out in more numbers. This time, Jaipur recorded a 68 percent and Jaipur rural 65 percent turnout. These are highest ever for these seats.

Seating MP Sri Ramcharan Bohra (BJP) and MS. Jyoti Khandelwal, former Mayor of Jaipur (Congress) are contesting in the Jaipur seat.

Rajasthan is voting today for Lok Sabha election 2019

Rajasthan is voting today for Lok Sabha election 2019

Half of Rajasthan is voting today for Loksabha election 2019. There are 25 Loksabha seats in Rajasthan. Meanwhile, half of these 25 have voted on April 29. 12 Loksabha constituencies are voting today to elect their Parliamentarians and in turn, their Prime Minister.

Symbol of Voting

BJP bagged all 25 seats in Rajasthan with a 100% strike rate defeating their nearest rival Congress in 2014 Loksabha poll. BHP has marginalized Congress party by limiting them to a zero. These 25 seats have played a big role in electing Narendra Modi as Indian Prime Minister.

Speaking of polling percentage 43% poll is recorded till 12.30 noon on average in Rajasthan today. There was a total turnout of 62% in 2014 Loksabha elections. We may hope a similar turnout this election.

Scorching heat, somehow, adversely affecting the voter turnout. However, large numbers of people come out of their homes in the morning to elect their parliamentarians. Naturally, the poll percentage will be less in the afternoon hours. It is expected that people left will come again to vote in the evening hours.
