Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: West Bengal. West Bengal recorded its highest-ever voter turnout after Independence in recent Assembly elections. The overall voter turnout in West Bengal reached 92.47% across two phases, marking a historic electoral milestone. Phase-I recorded the highest turnout at 93.19%, while Phase-II recorded 91.66% turnout. The previous highest voter turnout in West Bengal was 84.72% in the 2011 Assembly elections. Gender-wise data showed strong inclusivity with female voter turnout slightly higher than male turnout in Phase-II. The Election Commission used the ECINET platform for real-time voter turnout monitoring and transparency. Elections featured 100% live webcasting of polling stations to ensure transparency and accountability. Voter-friendly reforms included colour photos of candidates on EVMs for easier identification. The Mobile Deposit Facility (MDF) was introduced to improve voter convenience at polling stations. Voter Information Slips (VIS) were redesigned to improve clarity and accessibility for voters. A limit of 1,200 voters per polling station was implemented to manage crowding and efficiency. The election covered 24 districts and 294 Assembly constituencies in West Bengal. The total electorate was approximately 6.81 crore voters, showing large-scale participation. Over 85,000 polling stations and 4.26 lakh polling staff were deployed for smooth conduct of elections.
