Mangalore, Apr 17: At the end of the polling day, Dakshina Kannada saw a voter turnout of 76.67 percent, two percent more than the last Lok Sabha elections of 2009.

Addressing a press meet after the polling was over, deputy commissioner A B Ibrahim said that the percentage is likely to increase as data from Mangalore North has not yet been completely updated.

Barring a few complaints of proxy voting, trespass, absence of names in voters' list and arrogant behaviour by some policemen, the polling went on peacefully throughout the day, he said. A few technical issues such as malfunctioning EVMs in a few polling booths and delay in updates from over 160 booths were reported. He also said some of the presiding officers were slow.

The DC said that 17 EVMs had to be replaced, out of which 11 were replaced before 7 am, and 6 during the day.

Ibrahim expressed happiness over the response of the voters and said that he and other officials had been working hard to ensure free and fair elections, and their efforts, especially the SVEEP campaign to create voter awareness, had paid off.

He said the turnout was 74.44 in the last Lok Sabha elections in 2009 and 74.48 in the Assembly elections in 2013. This time, there was a two-percent increase.

    Dear Ronald,

    We cannot live in the past to have a better future. I am completely aware of the incidents that happened and those were really unfortunate. Also remember worst things have also happened, not only to our community but to all other communities of India. British enslaved our ancestors, but still, are we not ready to work or live there? Are we still thinking about past? My point is about the weak Indian economy. Look at the Rupee value. Look at the rising petrol prices. Do you think a common man can survive with this inflation rate? Farmers are committing suicide. If no farmer left, what are we going to eat? Hundreds of scams you hear everyday in the news. Don't be oblivious to it. Yes, most of our community works in gulf or abroad, so even even if the petrol prices are Rs 100/ltr tomorrow, even if rice is 100/Kg, its not a problem, as long as our community is safe. With this thought our country cannot develop or have any hope. BJP is neither my favourite party nor they have paid me. Considering the 10 yrs reputation of Congress, a change in the governance is imperative and BJP under Modi's leadership is the only choice now.

    Dear Mr. vittal Poojary, Muniyal/mangalore,

    Why are you commenting here if the western culture/internet is wrong/bad?! Why all the Indian parents desire queuing to move out from India to foreign countries. Passport offices are crowded and busy in issuing passports. Laks and Laks of passports are issued daily.

    Guajarati’s are not at all returning from U.S.A.,

    You have every right to teach etiquette to your children and stay to see the Bellwood dances whole day and night are you happy?!

    Are you wearing Pants, Shirts and Underwear’s.

    Are you utilizing electricity, bulbs and tube lights?
    I think you are using only HD

    Mercury bulbs for more light and less power supply.

    Why the gods and goddesses were drinking BAANG and dancing?!

    Why the rishis, Munies and Monks were drinking BAANG full at the brim and enjoying

    Thaaretha Kali/Toady is good in Bootha Kola and Otthe Kola?!

    Power supply was invented by westerners and Europeans.

    Telephone was invented by westerners and Europeans.

    Typewriter was invented by westerners.

    Computer was invented by westerners.

    Now don’t say we are using all these only for good purposes.

    If that is the case don’t blame westerners and foreigners.

    If there is no uranium supply from Africa, western and European we have to stay dark with all power cuts.

    Stop encouraging moral policing in the name of religion dividing the communities and be secular rather an Fundoo.

    Church attacks is India culture?!

    Raping of Nuns is Indian culture?!

    Beating of women is Indian culture?!

    Pregnant women’s live fetus removing is Indian culture.

    Are not your females using pads which is comfortable for periods instead of long cloth.

    Wake up Vittal Poojary and don’t encourage Murderer Modi and BJP they are hell bent on to divide and rule.

Suvarna News 24x7's attempt in pulling not interested voters to step out for voting was commendable.A lesson we must all learn from my daughter aged 16 who was sad for not having voting right saying-why can't Govt.extend to all Sweet 16's & above with a gift of Voting rights instead of making us wait till the age of 18?Shall we all appreciate this Attitude of the Youth, the enthusiastic 1st timers?

    Dear Richard, Shirva/Sharjah

    I quote: VOTE AS A INDIAN FIRST Unquote.

    I quote in 2014 ??? Unquote.


    I quote: WE VOTE FOR NAMO FOR STRONG AND SAFE INDIA

    I quote: you wrote 'we don't vote to India', so you yourself think of your citizenship !! Unquote.

    First of all both of yours comments which I quoted above are irrelevant.

    Is there any human other than a citizen of India voting to any other Indian humans contesting in these elections?! Answer.

    Only Indian citizens can vote in India that to we are voting to a particular person. Not for all.

    Are you voting now in the year 1947 or 2014???!!! (Jeevan where is your mind).


    We are voting to a human from our own constituency, Mangalore Janardhana poojary or Nalin Kumar Kateel or Vasudeva or any other independents.

    How are you voting to Modi here in Mangalore?! Ridiculous Comment
    Kindly explain.

But 'Mr.Satya' its not only Christians giving their vote to Congress, Because its BJP. Its because BJP always tried to push back Christians & Muslims from their fundamental rights as well religious protection. They are always giving support to Bajaranga, VHP & RSS. Even there is so called fake police to stop valentine day & Couples breathing peacefully in the outside world. Even they dont know about Own BRO & Sister relation too.
