There is another fact pertaining to these Elections, that swells our hearts with pride. Perhaps, this is the first time ever, that women have enthusiastically voted, as much as men did. This time the ratio of men & women who voted was almost the same.
To ensure that no voter was deprived of his or her voting rights, there were around 10 lakh polling stations, more than 40 lakh EVM machines, over 17 lakh VVPAT machines. You can imagine the gargantuan task!
To successfully conduct General Elections 2019, close to 3 lakh paramilitary personnel discharged their duty; 20 lakh Police personnel too, persevered. It is on account of these people that voting took place on a larger scale compared to the previous Election.
The 2019 Lok Sabha Elections in history by far, was the largest democratic Election ever held in the world. This stands for the sheer size & spread of our Democracy .
In the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, India saw over 61 crore voters exercising their franchise. If I place it in a global perspective, if you exclude China, the number of people who voted in India exceeds the population of any other country in the world.
