Even after offering discounts on food, clothing and a range of other stuff, keeping in mind the upcoming Diwali festivities, the Pune district administration could get only 56 per cent (till 5pm) of the electorate to cast their votes. The same election in 2014 had recorded a 64 per cent turnout.

The trolley path
Due to heavy rainfall over the weekend, the road leading to Kambleshwar Baramati polling booth number 351 had turned muddy. To avoid inconvenience, the authorities joined 15 tractors with the help of trollies and turned it into a 500-metre-long pathway so that voters could walk over them and reach the polling booth.
