New Delhi: As the polling for the 6th and second last phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections are underway, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday released the absolute number of voters for the first five phases of polling for the Lok Sabha in the country. In the latest data, Assam’s Dhubri Lok Sabha constituency with 92.08 poll percent topped the list registering highest voter turnout across the country. On the contrary, the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency in Jammu and Kashmir witnessed lowest voter turnout registering 38.49 percent.

Releasing the data, the Election Commission also said that it has decided to expand the format of its voter turnout data release. The poll panel said that it feels “duly strengthened” by the Supreme Court verdict refusing to consider a plea to direct the Election Commission to publish final data on voter turnout in all polling stations on its website.
