The contest in Kerala elections is very interesting

This time the contest in the Kerala Assembly elections has become very interesting. A total of 883 candidates are in the fray in the state, which means on an average six to seven candidates are trying their luck on each seat. It is clear from this that competition in elections has increased considerably. However, the situation has become more complicated on many seats, because rebels and independent candidates are also contesting in large numbers. Because of these, the contest has become multi-cornered in many constituencies, where it is not easy to predict the result. Talking about voters, there are about 27 lakh voters in the state, who will exercise their franchise at more than 30,000 polling stations. The Election Commission has made extensive preparations for voting on such a large scale, so that the process can be completed in a peaceful and orderly manner.
