Who benefits from bumper voting?
Who will benefit from bumper voting in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections? According to political experts, generally more voting or increase in voting percentage is seen as public anger against the ruling party. It is believed that people vote more to change the current government. Higher voting percentage is considered synonymous with change of government. However, this trend has changed in the last few elections. If we look at the figures of Lok Sabha elections 2014 and 2019, NDA has returned to power at the Center despite higher voting percentage. In 2019, 67.3 percent votes were cast as compared to 66.4 percent in 2014. Despite this, BJP returned to power at the Centre. However, if we compare the voting percentage with that of 2009, higher voting in 2014 resulted in a change in power. In 2014, 66.4% votes were cast as compared to 58.2% in 2009.
