WB gets best-ever voter sex ratio over ‘NRC fears’

In Bengal, woman power seems to be driving voter awareness. The state’s final electoral rolls for 263 of its 294 assembly constituencies, published on Thursday, has thrown up its highest ever gender ratio: 956 women for every 1,000 men. Registration of new voters also witnessed a 1.5% rise from the draft voter rolls. Of these new voters, 55.6% are women.
