India, April 25 -- Ten constituencies in West Bengal that voted on April 23 are likely to have seen a decline in turnout in absolute terms compared to the 2024 LS polls, although only in one is the drop likely to be more than the victory margin of the 2024 elections, according to HT's preliminary calculations. This is interesting because turnout, in absolute terms, doesn't usually fall in a state where the adult population is growing.P10
