|| Reasons For Low Voter Turn-out In Hyderabad ||
Hyderabad has once again experienced low voter turnout despite cutthroat competition and the blistering campaign trail. There seems to be an eminent disconnect between the political mainstream and the average voter. A host of reasons might have contributed to this often-repeated phenomenon of low voter turnout.
The BJP-TRS belligerent electoral fight has raised the expectations of high turnout. But, the acrimonious campaign failed to enthuse the voter.
Pandemic might have contributed to the low turnout to a great extent. The old and those who suffer from comorbidity might have been extra cautious to avoid any possible infection. The surprising aspect is that many of those who avoided exercising their franchise due to fear of pandemic have been availing unlock situation. Voting seems to be not their priority.
The average voter failed to recognise the direct connect between his own living conditions and the need for exercising franchise. The rich and the middle class who take the fruits of democracy granted often ignore the link between their personal wellbeing and good governance that elections can only herald. As noted cricketer, Steve Waughs says: You do not know what you have got until it is lost.
However, voters alone cannot be blamed. The corrupt political culture that fails to offer radically different alternatives does not enthuse average urban voters to vote especially braving the pandemic.
