legitimacy. Election in Bidar has witnessed a fluctuating trend of voter turnout in previous Elections.

Analyzing the Situation and Gap for all the Data Presented above:
Analyzing the Situation and Gap for all the Data Presented above:
The systematic assessment of current and previous electoral data is being carried out to guide
the interventions. In addition to comparative studies of statistical and numeric data, a simultaneous
evidence based analysis of various other factors is done in order to have a clear understanding of
reasons for non-participation. The assessment is being done based on population data, elector-
population ratio, gender ratio on the Electoral Roll as against Census figures, EPIC coverage, age
cohort, etc.
Gaps to be filled:
1. Gender gap still sizeable in many constituencies
2. Excluded communities
3. Youth disconnect
4. Urban Apathy
5. Service Voters low participation
6. Migrant voters
7. Voters Turnout
8. Communication Gaps
1. Gender gap still sizeable in many constituencies: As per the projected population
of 2017 the Sex Ratio of Bidar District is 964 whereas; the gender ratio as per the latest
electoral rolls is 915.The underlying gap of 49 points between the census and the electoral
roll embarks upon the DEOs, a serious task to enroll the maximum possible eligible women
voters, Analyzing the ACs with lowest gender ratio of the rolls, it is found that women voters
of mostly urban ACs are not enrolled while the gap in case of rural women voters is not quite
high. The main reasons for this gap is lack of sufficient number of documents due to marital
reasons, lack of awareness and motivation to enroll and also socio-cultural barriers hinder the
process of enrolment of women voters.
2. Excluded communities: It’s important to identify excluded Communities/Groups.
Special Activities would be carried out in order to identify those groups, & ensure their
participation for the elections. A special Monitoring would happen to keep a track on
excluded communities.
3. Youth disconnect: This is one of the very important GAP that has to be fulfilled, the
youths are disconnected because of lack of knowledge of elections.
4. Urban Apathy: It’s one of the common GAP in every elections. People are very Urban
Apathy and move to urban areas. As per the 2011 Census people movement from Rural to
Urban areas is reaching upto 30%. Reasons may be Employment, Education, lack of Security
etc.
5. Service Voters low Participation: It’s an assumption that they form a very small
number hence not much importance is given to them. Also since service voters are away from
their home they may not bother to vote. Hence as pointed out in the excluded community
point the same special monitoring team will monitor and keep note on service voters and
make sure that they cast their vote.
6. Voters Turnout: Analyzing Assembly Constituencies with the lowest turnout in Lok
Sabha General Elections 2014, ‘Urban Apathy’ seems to be the key issue behind the low
turnout hindering the overall average turnout of the State. Also, Women voters’ turnout being
59.74% also gives rise to the task of more outreach activities for awareness and motivation of
women voters to cast their votes. In Assemble elections 2013 to lowest PS -242, Yelwantgi at
23.61%. Special Attention will be given to this PS along with other identified low polling
stations from the past elections.
7. Communication Gaps: Lack of awareness on polling booths, awareness on enrollment
of voters, and wrong information rumors etc. are some of the communication gaps faced
during the previous elections. Hence this time a strong communication activities with support
of social media & media will be done to cater this problem.
Important factor to address on Gap is the Voter’s Turnout
The low voter turnout in Election could be attributed to many
factors. Each taluk has a unique history, social, political and cultural
setting based on which voter participation has to be seen. Some of
the factors that affect the trend / voter turnout are as follows ‐
• Law and order problem and electoral offences affecting free,
fair and peaceful polls.
• The district a administration is taking steps to ensure
enabling environment for peaceful election.
• Lack of awareness about the significance of vote also tends
to decrease the electors Participation.
• People usually migrate primarily for livelihood opportunities and educational opportunities.
• They have their names in the electoral roll but most of them are unable to vote during
elections as they are outside the State.
• Inconvenience related to poor infrastructure and lack of basic minimum facilities at polling
stations such as poor road connectivity, lack of public transportation,
• Facilities like Drinking water, ramps for disabled, shades and sitting arrangements, long
queues etc. are affecting Voter turnout.
• Apathy among urban voters is also one of the causes of low voter turnout.
• In certain cases lack of sensitivity about importance of each vote and casual attitude among
electors may have contributed to lower voter‐turnout.
