WATCH LIVE | Who will win in Punjab Lok Sabha polls? Experts weigh in

Top journalists and political experts are predicting a 5% to 6% increase in voter turnout by the end of the day, since voters were still at polling booths after 6 pm. While Chandigarh and Himachal Pradesh have experienced high voter turnout, Punjab has comparatively seen less enthusiasm among its voters.

The multi-cornered contest, internal party dissent and shifting loyalties have created uncertainty among voters, which might have led to a noticeable lack of excitement.

On the other hand, heatwave is also being considered as major factor behind the low voter turnout in Punjab. 

Each constituency has seen candidates changing parties.

Top journalists and political experts are predicting a 5% to 6% increase in voter turnout by the end of the day, since voters were still at polling booths after 6 pm. While Chandigarh and Himachal Pradesh have experienced high voter turnout, Punjab has comparatively seen less enthusiasm among its voters. The multi-cornered contest, internal party dissent and shifting loyalties have created uncertainty among voters, which might have led to a noticeable lack of excitement.

On the other hand, heatwave is also being considered as major factor behind the low voter turnout in Punjab. 

Each constituency has seen candidates changing parties.

This marks the end of a seven-phase electoral process that began on April 19.

The seven-phase election commenced on April 19, with subsequent phases on April 26, May 7, May 13, May 20, and May 25 and June 1.
