Srinagar: J&K’s Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency has always been a high-profile constituency and the contest this time promises a significant upswing in voter turnout.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the voter turnout was only 14.34 per cent in the constituency.

During the poll campaign this time, political parties have held public meetings in old Srinagar city area which was once believed to be the hotbed of the separatist sentiment in Kashmir. This is a positive sign for democracy.

The way people have been attending public meetings of various political parties in the Srinagar constituency during this election indicates that the voter turnout would be fairly high as compared to the 2019 Lok Sabha poll in the constituency.

There are 17,44,027 voters in the Srinagar constituency including 8,74,048 male, 8,69,916 female and 63 third gender voters.

Voting segments of the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency are the Srinagar, Ganderbal, the Pulwama districts, three areas of the Budgam district and two of the Shopian district.
