The Election Commission said that the turnout surpassed the 63.9 per cent recorded in these constituencies during the 2019 Assembly Elections. The poll body said that the polling was marked by a festive mood and enthusiastic participation across all districts, with a large tribal population. It said voters defied boycott calls, and impressive voting was also recorded in Left Wing Extremism-affected areas in the state.
The Election Commission highlighted that voters from diverse groups, including first-time voters, the elderly, women, PwD, and tribals, among others, were seen exercising their franchise at polling stations. For the first time during the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, a polling station was set up in the Buda Pahad area in Garhwa district, once considered a stronghold of extremists, allowing residents to vote in their village.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, along with Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Dr Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, constantly monitored the situation across over 15,000 polling stations. Meticulous planning and constant vigilance by the Commission have ensured that the Jharkhand elections this time have been smooth and streamlined, with no repolls recorded so far. Webcasting was in place at 100 per cent of polling stations to ensure transparency in the voting process.
