Voting delayed at several booths due to technical glitches in EVMs
An estimated 78.31% of the 25.58 lakh voters exercised their franchise in Kozhikode district for the Assembly elections on Tuesday. Gender-wise, 79.26% of female voters and 77.31% of male voters voted in the polls.
However, the voter turnout is likely to increase as the Election Commission is set to announce the final figures on Wednesday.
Even then, the number appeared to be less than the previous Assembly polls. The voter turnout was 81.89% and 81.27% in the 2016 and 2011 Assembly elections respectively.
