All the three fronts are busy evaluating various socio-politico-religious factors, which may be decisive in determining the result, as there is a dip of 4.05 in polling percentage compared to 2016.
In 2016 district recorded 77.74 % polling. However, a sizeable number of voters, including elderly persons, have cast their votes this year ignoring the COVID-19 pandemic.
