The United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) attribute the decline in voter turnout in Chalakudy and Ernakulam Lok Sabha constituencies to factors such as inexperienced polling officials, technical issues with electronic voting machines, and voter disinterest. Both fronts expressed concern over the decrease compared to the 2019 General Elections, with Chalakudy recording 71.94% turnout (down from 80.4%) and Ernakulam seeing 68.29% (down from 73.59%). The Election Commission released these figures on April 27, prompting a reflection on the challenges encountered during the voting process.
