cnn-ibn already revised their estimaties and their projection for Cong is decreased by nearly 17 seats. earlier they predicted 117-130. now they are telling 100-116.
For Punjab, they predicted Advantage Cong with neck and neck. Finally Cong lost.
CNN-IBN terribly got it wrong in 2008.
so lets wait and watch.

Heavy voter turnout in Karnataka assembly polls (Intro Roundup)

Bangalore, May 5 (IANS) Karnataka Sunday witnessed a heavy voter turnout in the 14th legislative assembly elections, with 70 percent polling across the state that will determine the fate of the ruling BJP and its rival Congress, which is looking to stage a comeback after a gap of seven years.

Counting will take place Wednesday (May 8) in 36 centres across the state and all the results will be declared by evening.

“The overall voting percentage is 70.23 across the state. Polling was by and large peaceful barring stray incidents. There was heavy turnout in 26 of the 30 districts, with highest (77.95 percent) in Bangalore Rural and lowest in Bangalore Urban (52.83 percent),” Karnataka chief electoral officer Anil Kumar Jha told reporters here late Sunday.

The polling percentage across the state in the 2008 assembly elections was 64.91.

With no reports of voting being held up or cancelled from any constituency, Jha said re-polling was unlikely. A final decision, however, will be taken Monday after scrutinising diaries of all the presiding officers.

“Re-polling is less likely. Rural electorate voted more than the urban population, with 52 percent of Bangalore electorate casting their ballot by 5 p.m., which is five percent more than 47 percent registered in the 2008 assembly election,” Jha asserted.

According to the final voting figures, Belgaum district recorded 72.95 percent, Bagalkot 69.88 percent, Bellary 70.84 percent, Bijapur 61.86 percent, Chamarajnagar 74.92 percent, Chikkaballapur 75.89 percent, Chikkmagalur 72.89 percent, Chitradurga 74.93 percent, Dakshina Kannada 73.92, Davangere 74.91 percent, Dharwad 68.76 percent, Gadag 69.90, Hassan 76.88 percent, Haveri 75.91 percent, Kodagu 68.95 percent, Kolar 73.92 percent, Koppal 69.92, Mandya 74.91 percent, Mysore 67.82, Raichur 62.92, Ramanagaram 74.96 percent, Shimoga 73.84 percent, Tumkur 74.88 percent, Udupi 76.96 percent and Uttara Kannada 68.93 percent.

Districts that recorded below 60 percent voting besides Bangalore Urban (52.83 percent) are in the backward Hyderabad-Karnataka region: Bidar 54.98 percent, Gulbarga 59.83 percent and Yadgir 58.88 percent

Polling was held for 223 of the 224 elected constituencies, as election from the Periyapatna segment in Mysore district was countermanded, following the death of ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Sannamoge Gowda April 29.

Polling in Periyapatna has been rescheduled for May 28 and counting May 30.

One seat in the state assembly is reserved for a nominated member from the Anglo-Indian community.

In all, 52,034 polling booths were set up across the 223 assembly segments, with 10,103 of them declared hyper-sensitive and 14,209 sensitive.

Of the state’s 61.13 million population, 43.6 million are registered voters, comprising 22.22 million men and 21.35 million women. First-time voters in the age group of 18-22 years are 3.55 million.

As the state capital, Bangalore has the largest number of voters — 7.03 million of a total population of 10 million — and the highest number of assembly segments at 28.

Among the eligible voters, 534,548 are first-timers, as they enrolled for this election since January.

About 253,000 officials from state and central governments and state-run organisations were on poll duty, with 48,182 police personnel outside booths and about 100,000 additional forces deployed around booths to maintain law and order.

About 2,000 flying squads comprising five members each, including a photographer and a video-grapher were deployed to record the proceedings and ensure free and fair voting.

The total number of candidates in the fray was 2,948, including 170 women candidates.

Major political parties such as the ruling BJP, the Congress, the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) and the newly-formed Karnataka Janata Party (KJP), a party of the BJP rebels led by its first chief minister in the southern state B.S. Yeddyurappa contested in all the 223 constituencies across the state./eom/610 words.

@robbierocker

Thank you very much for that post. Now I am very happy to see 70% voter turn out. This is a huge improvement and a sign of healthy growth in our democracy. hats off to rural Bangalore and shame on urban Bangalore. This again strengthens my argument that educated idiots are the real impediment to complete realization of true potential in this country.

CNN IBN and many more news channels sit there in their A/C chambers and predict just like what astrologers have done and are doing in India from centuries, its just new way of astrology as human tendency is to walk towards predictions always, no logic no math.. Even in gujarat elections they predicted something, something else happened. so the 8th is the day which will clear all of our doubts, full and final. :)

One more interesting thing to note from http://hillpost.in/2013/05/heavy-vot...roundup/74551/ is the areas of least voter turn out are heavily muslim populated areas. Bidar is the district with the second most number of muslim population (19.7%) and Gulbarga + yadgir is the fourth(17.6%). Yadgir was carved out of south of Gulbarga if I am correct and it also has a large number of muslim votes. In the last elections Yadgir was won by INC, Bidar by INC and Bidar south by JDS, Gulbarga North by INC and Gulbarga rural and south by the BJP. With low voter turn out in these muslim dominant regions, the INC could be the most affected and if we assume that the muslim voters there do not vote for the BJP, then there is a greater chance that JDS has managed to maintain its vote share and the INC has lost its vote share.

Just an interesting observation. Again, thanks to robbierocker for sharing the statistics.

@robbierocker
Hill post is from Himachal Pradesh? This is the first time I am hearing about it. I presume they are not a part of any mainstream news papers and they claim to be independent news portal. What the main stream news papers such as hindu, TOI, deccan Herald coudln't provide, HP has provided the needed statistics. How has your experience with their reporting been? Are they any different from the main stream news media?

But the most important question is, incase of a hung assembly, would the JDS prefer to have an alliance with the BJP or with the INC? KJP for sure would go behind the INC and I have no doubt about that.

How strong is the relationship between JDS and INC. Didn't the INC support a government where Mr. Gowda was the PM? Would the JDS be convinced to reciprocate the same gesture now?

The election comission shoudl make a rule that before going to the polls, the parties should declare what their coalition plans would be in case of a hung assembly. That would be a fair election on the part of the people.

Imagine two political parties fighting against each other before the elections and the people cast their votes to one of these two political parties, rejecting the other and when these two form an alliance after the polls, that would mean the voters are cheated and their votes have been misused. With pre poll declarations of possible alliances, the elections would be much more open and fair.

^^

Now with the clean up of the BJP in Karnataka, I do not see a bleak future for the BJP here. They just need another opportunity where they give their governance without any errors. Even if they have an alliance with the JDS and if they give a wholehearted support towards the development of the state, they could be very well recognized. The goal is to throw INC out of Karnataka, just the way people in TN have done.
