Voter turnout in by-elections
According to the ECI, Dampa and Anta recorded voter turnout of 82.34 per cent and 80.32 per cent, respectively. While Nagrota recorded a voter turnout of 75.08 per cent, it was 50.05 per cent in Budgam, 74.63 per cent in Ghatsila, 79.02 per cent in Nuapada, 60.95 per cent in Tarn Taran, and 48.24 per cent in Jubilee Hills.
What caused by-elections in these 8 constituencies?
In most of the eight assembly constituencies, the bypolls were triggered by the death of sitting MLA(s) who represented the seat in the respective assembly. However, in Budgam, it was caused by the resignation of Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah who retained the Ganderbal seat, and in Anta, it was caused by BJP MLA Kanwar Lal Meena’s disqualification from the state assembly earlier this year due to his conviction and imprisonment for three years for pointing a pistol at a sub-divisional magistrate.
