Female voters dwarfed male voters in upwards of 13 states and Union territories

Female voters dwarfed male voters in upwards of 13 states and Union territories in the Lok Sabha polls that finished up on Sunday. The new participants in this club are Bihar and Uttarakhand, the main states in the north to figure on this rundown.

In 2014, 10 states and UTs had seen a bigger number of ladies than men casting a ballot, however, inside the then unified province of Andhra Pradesh, the part that currently remains Andhra had likewise recorded a bigger number of female voters than male. Accordingly, viably 11 of the present states and UTs had seen this pattern five years prior.

The present rundown is commanded by states and UTs in the south and upper east, the main exemptions being Goa and Daman Diu in the west and the two northern states. Kerala stands out with more than 9 lakh a bigger number of ladies’ voters than men. At the opposite end, Lakshadweep had only 165 a greater number of ladies casting a ballot than men.

While 11of the 13 states and UTs had more female than male voters even in 2014, the hole has augmented for each situation altogether. In Kerala, for example, it has expanded from somewhat more than 6 lakhs to in excess of 9 lakh. In Tamil Nadu, the hop is from a little more than a lakh to almost 6 lakhs.

Set up together, in these 13 states and UTs, there were 21lakh a bigger number of ladies casting a ballot than men. A proviso is altogether on account of Bihar. The count here depends on point by point numbers for the initial six periods of the polls, and the lead ladies’ voters have over men is just around 1.3 lakh. It is conceivable, however not likely, that the numbers from the seventh and last stage could change the image.
