Like the assembly elections, the polling percentage is reported low in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The entire Telangana region reported 48.95 percent of voting till 3 PM while Hyderabad and Secunderabad posted 27.79 percent and 30.20 percent voting respectively.
In the assembly elections, the entire Hyderabad district recorded 48.89 percent of polling and the same scene is going to repeat. This can be largely attributed to deletion and missing of votes. Also the election commission could not allot much time for new voters to enroll.
Despite awareness campaigns by GHMC and other NGOs, people of the twin cities seems to be taking the voting process as a less important work. We have to see what could be the percent of voting by the end of the day.
