As expected, the turn-out of voters in 2014 general elections is a record 66.38 % as per the Election Commission statement after the polling was over today. It may be slightly increased also after final check.

The maximum polling earlier was in 1984-85 election when the voter turn out was 64.1% with a sympathy wave on the assassination of Indira Gandhi.

The increase in voting is good for democracy. Congratulations to the voters.
