Low voter turnout in Maharashtra's major cities

Voter apathy is prominently observed in Maharashtra's major cities, including Mumbai, Pune, and Thane, as they report low turnout numbers. Despite political leaders' attempts to encourage voting, participation remains low, with Mumbai at 27.7%, Pune at 29%, and Thane at 28%. The Election Commission’s effort to position voting day midweek to prevent long weekends has not significantly increased voter engagement.
