Voting started at 7 am on Wednesday for all 288 assembly seats of Maharashtra Assembly. The big thing is that people have decided the fate of more than 4,100 candidates at 1,00,186 booths. This year the number of booths is also more than the number of booths set up in the 2019 elections. According to the information, there were a total of 96,654 booths in the year 2019. Talking about the voting percentage, the Election Commission has estimated that more than 65% voting has been recorded. Which is about 4% more than the last assembly elections. Let us tell you that in the assembly elections held in the year 2019, 61.74% voting took place here.
A total of 73.68 percent voting took place in Gadchiroli district
A total of 65.11% voting took place in this assembly election in Maharashtra, which is about 4% more than the last assembly elections. The good thing in this election is that a total of 73.68 percent voting took place in the Naxal-affected Gadchiroli district. Whereas only 52.07% voting took place in the financial capital Mumbai. However, in the 2019 elections, only 50.67% votes were cast in Mumbai. Looking at the vote percentage, it can be said that the people of Mumbai should learn something from those living in the Naxal-affected Gadchiroli district. Like every time, this time too Mumbaikars did not take the elections seriously.

Election results will come on November 23
In this election, while on the one hand the ruling Mahayuti alliance is trying its best to retain power once again, on the other hand, the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance is hoping to return to power in the state by performing well in this state election like the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, the results coming on November 23 will make it clear whether the Mahayuti will return to power in the state or the MVA will be successful in forming its government. It is worth noting that the MVA alliance had won 30 out of 48 seats in the state in the Lok Sabha elections held this year.
