An estimated 78.31% of the 25.58 lakh voters exercised their franchise in Kozhikode district for the Assembly elections on Tuesday. Gender-wise, 79.26% of female voters and 77.31% of male voters voted in the polls. However, the voter turnout is likely to increase as the Election Commission is set to announce the final figures on Wednesday.
