You should watch: Data analysts on Indian Express look at why voter turnout in these elections has been so dismal. The most substantial drop in voters has been in the Hindi heartland and states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and West Bengal. The surprising bit: Gujarat—the home state of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah—has also seen a massive drop.
Why it’s worth your time: The two analysts parse the data available and present it in a manner that is easy to understand. They draw important conclusions about voter data and explain what it says about voter behaviour. For instance, significantly lesser women have come out to vote this time.
