Voter turnout has been a notable trend in the ongoing general election 2024 in India. Analyzing data from past elections reveals that there is no statistically significant bias for or against the incumbent based on changes in turnout. However, examining voter turnout data multidimensionally is crucial. Conventional political wisdom suggests that higher voter turnout benefits Democrats in American elections, but research has shown this relationship is not always clear-cut. In India, the impact of voter turnout on election outcomes is likely more nuanced due to the country’s diverse political landscape and the presence of multiple parties. Non-habitual voters’ voting patterns and their impact on election results remain uncertain until the electronic voting machines are counted.
