Both the state and city on Monday put up a dismal show this assembly election, with voter turnout dipping, especially in cities. Voters in the rural areas helped Maharashtra reach the 60 per cent mark but it was still below the voter percentage of 2014.

The lowest turnout was reported from Colaba with 40.02 per cent voters exercising their right on Monday. The state had seen a voter turnout of about 63 per cent during the 2014 Assembly polls as opposed to this year's 60 per cent, briefed state chief election officer Baldev Singh. The elections on Monday were a low-key affair despite the monsoon taking a break.
