Nearly 65 per cent of voters exercised their franchise in the elections to the two vacant seats in the Telangana state legislative council from graduates constituencies on Sunday.
The polling percentage in Hyderabad-Ranga Reddy-Mahabubnagar graduates constituency was 64.87 per cent, it was around 65 per cent in Khammam-Warangal-Nalgonda constituency at the closing hour of polling at 4 pm.
In all, 10,36,565 graduates including 3,67,808 women were enrolled as voters in the elections for the two MLC seats in these six districts. Polling took place in 1,530 polling stations in these districts.
The polling percentage is extremely satisfactory. There were still a large number of voters at the polling stations in both the constituencies and they would be allowed to cast their vote. This might increase the polling percentage slightly, Telangana chief electoral officer Shashank Goel said.
Goel said the polling was by and large peaceful, barring stray incidents of clashes between the cadres of the two different political parties. At Nellikuduru town of Mahabubabad district, the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that its candidate G Premender Reddy was assaulted by the activists of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi, when he opposed distribution of money by the TRS among voters at a function hall. Reddy was shifted to a private hospital in Khammam town.
