PONDA
This appeared to be the case, as taluka-wise figures for the voter turnout were released by the State Election Commission (SEC) every two hours in all 12 talukas of the state.
In 10 of the 12 talukas, voter turnout have a similar trend, with talukas recording a 4-5% increase in voter turnout between the periods from 2-4 pm and from 4 pm till end of poll.
But what was unusual is that Ponda taluka recorded a massive 10% jump in voter turnout between these two periods, indicating that a significant number of voters opted to exercise their franchise during the last one hour of the polling period, as opposed to other talukas.
Similarly, Sanguem taluka showed an 8% increase in voter turnout between these two periods. TGN
