In the suburbs of Kalyan, 41.2 per cent polling was recorded while 44.7 polling was recorded in Thane.

Bhiwandi, another Mumbai suburb, recorded a dismal 38.48 per cent turn out.

The low voter turnout in Mumbai came as a surprise to many as the polling percentage had been expected to be high in the wake of the recent terror attacks in the metropolis.

Maharashtra overall recorded 45 per cent polling.
