Similar to past elections, Hyderabad continues to exhibit the lowest voter turnout in the state during this election cycle. Until 1 pm, a mere 20.79% of the eligible electorate had cast their votes in Hyderabad. Consequently, the city police took to the streets to encourage and motivate voters to participate in the polling process.
A team representing Bhavani Nagar police station, located in the south zone, ventured out onto the streets, utilizing a public address system to urge citizens to exercise their voting rights.
Areas such as Charminar, Goshamahal, Bahadurpura, and Chandrayangutta reported notably low voter turnout by 1 PM. In contrast, Secunderabad Cantonment recorded a turnout of 27.7%, while Sanathnagar and Khairatabad witnessed a relatively higher participation rate, standing at 27.5% and 26.1%, respectively, by the same time.
