Hyderabad: Has Huzurabad by-poll on Saturday recorded the highest percentage poll ever? Indications are that almost 90% of voters will march outside the polls to get ink given that it is a neck-and-neck fight between TRS and BJP and both parties have changed the selection into a prestige problem.
The source on both parties said they worked overtime to ensure they did not miss the single voice.
The parties even asked them who had their voices in the electoral district, but lived in Hyderabad and other places, to return and choose in elections.
TRS and BJP have assigned tasks to local cadres to get voters to the booth and have even held micro-level meetings in the hamlet.
In the selection of 2018 assembly, 83% of Huzurabad voters used their franchise.
Also, by polls throughout the country have witnessed a very high selection so far.
The average percentage of voting for five by-polls held in the state since 2016, around 84%.
In the previous poll in Nagarjuna Sagar in April, the number of voters was 88% broke the previous 80% record regulated in the 2014 election.
While the overall polling percentage for the election of the first Telangana assembly in 2014 was 68.5%, the first poll in Narayankhed In 2016 it saw it up to 82%.
This rose further to 89% in the next poll in the same year at the Palair.
This is the highest voter so far in polls with the country.
Both seats were won by TRS with landslides.
In the current assembly, three-by-polls have been held – Huzurnagar, Dubbak and Nagarjuna Sagar, who also have a significant voter turnout of 84%, 83% and 86%.
This was also significantly higher than about 70% in the election of the State Assembly held in December 2018.
With the exception of Dubbak, where BJP won with a thin margin of slightly more than 1,000 votes, TRS had won other majority.
“The emotions of voters did play a big role during the poll, but the election pattern was difficult to determine,” said S Ramakrishna, a political observer.
