Hyderabad had the highest voting turnout among the Assembly constituencies under Hyderabad, with 47.14% by 5 pm. However, none of the constituencies managed to reach 50%. Secunderabad and Sanathnagar had just over 45% turnout, while Musheerabad and Amberpet had the lowest with slightly over 40% turnout.
Overall, the elections went smoothly with only a few minor incidents. At Dr BR Ambedkar College in New Nallakunta, there was a small argument about the placement of tables near the polling station. In another booth near Badruka College in Amberpet, voters were frustrated with the slow voting process and the long queues. Earlier in the morning, there was tension in Baghlingampally where the police stopped Congress candidate Anjan Kumar Yadav for bringing many party workers to the polling booths.
Some people believe that despite all the efforts made by political parties, the city had a low voter turnout. They think that canvassing door-to-door and spending money on rallies and other activities did not impress the voters. They also blame the political parties for engaging in blame games instead of focusing on development agendas, which confused the voters and discouraged them from voting. On the other hand, some people blame the voters themselves for not participating in the electoral process, saying that they don’t have the right to question the government if they don’t vote.
