According to DU sources, the overall turnout percentage was approximately nearby 31%, significantly lower than last year’s overall turnout of 43.3%. In fact, for 3 sequential years (2013 to 2015), the voter aggregate in DUSU polls wavered around 43%. This year voting participation has witnessed a sharp decline of nearly 5%.
This will moreover influence the vote-margin of different parties, making it more challenging than last year to sustain a surplus vote-share percentage.
