RANCHI, INDIA - APRIL 17: An old aged voter being helped to cast his vote during the 2nd phase of the Lok Sabha election at Red Cross premises booth on April 17, 2014 in Ranchi, India. Bihar saw 51.73% voter turnout till 5pm on Thursday in its seven Lok Sabha constituencies where polling is on. Patna Sahib recorded the lowest turnout at 41% while Jahanabad recorded the highest at 50%. India is headed for 9-phase general elections starting next week and the new government is expected to be in place after the results are announced in mid-May. India's voters have come out in emphatic numbers as never seen before in the first four phases of this summer's general elections. If the trend continues, the 2014 polls may have the highest voter turnout ever even though the hot summer is considered a big stumbling block. As many as 68.29% of voters in 111 Lok Sabha seats that have gone to the polls so far exercised their franchise. This is about eight percentage points higher than the polling percentage in these constituencies in 2009. The overall polling percentage in 2009 was 58.19% when 714 million people were eligible to vote. (Photo by Diwakar Prasad/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)
