With Delhi witnessing the highest-ever voter turnout, women may turn out to be game changer for political parties as they came out in large numbers to cast their ballots.

While in several constituencies, women voter turnout percentage was almost equal to men, it was higher than men in Kirari, Chattarpur, Sangam Vihar, Tughlaqabad, R K Puram, Ballimaran, Moti Nagar, Palam, Delhi Cantt and Rajendra Nagar.

The national capital registered its highest-ever voter turnout of 65.86 per cent in the keenly contested Assembly polls. As high as 65.17 per cent women (34.6 lakh) cast their ballot in the three-cornered contest among the Congress, the BJP and debutant Aam Aadmi Party, an increase of nine per cent from last Delhi assembly elections.
