Like in the first phase, in the fourth phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, too, Bengal saw the highest percentage of voting, which was 80.22 per cent. Eight constituencies voted on May 13—Asansol, Baharampur, Bardhaman Purba, Bardhaman-Durgapur, Birbhum, Bolpur, Krishnanagar and Ranaghat.

Andhra Pradesh came a close second, with an 80.66 per cent voter turnout, but it must be remembered that the state saw voting for both the Lok Sabha and the assembly concurrently, and all the constituencies were involved. Odisha was a distant third, with 75.68 per cent of the electorate having cast their votes.

In Bengal, among the eight parliamentary constituencies (PCs), Bardhaman Purba saw the highest turnout of 82.85 per cent, with Bolpur coming next at 82.66 per cent.

Considering the assembly constituency-wise turnout in Bengal, Labhpur, part of the Bolpur PC, saw the highest turnout of 86.26 per cent, followed closely by Ausgram (Bolpur PC) and Jamalpur (Bardhaman Purba PC) (both 85.30%), and Sainthia (Birbhum PC) (85.29%).
