“There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers”
According to the 2012 assembly election results; it seems a lot of leaders owe their success to the female voters of India. 2012 elections witnessing a higher turnout ratio of female voters then that of the male indicates the changing trends in the mind set of Indian women. Women who were earlier restricted to the four walls of their houses under the veils came out to choose their future representatives maintaining an equal say as men. The reason behind this could be lack of education or mind set of Indian society or patriarchal system. But all these barriers were not sufficient enough to stop the Indian women to step out of their houses and make everybody else feel their presence in the polling booths.
The author through this research paper attempts to analyse the changing trends of female voters in India in the past 30 years. Furthermore, it attempts to highlight the factors affecting the women turnout ratio. Lack of education of women in India has been one of the major reasons of partial women turnout for voting in elections in the past few years. The paper would throw some light on ratio of women turnout from urban and rural India. Through the study of government databases the author will provide an insight of the efforts made on the part of Indian government to maximize women turnout.
