Relatively lower turnout was recorded in Angamaly at 75.62% and Piravom at 76.43%, suggesting comparatively subdued voter mobilisation in these constituencies.
Throughout the district voters remained calm while casting a ballot; having a steady stream of activity throughout the entire day. From current trends; we can see that suburbs will probably have more to say than other urban parts do when it comes down to voting; however there seems to be no distinct winner or winner that stands out; therefore we believe that the final results will be based on the ways in which each district votes (consolidation of vote) within this highly challenged area.
