West Bengal has recorded its highest-ever voter turnout of 92.47% in the recent Assembly elections, marking a significant milestone in the state's electoral history. Women voters led the charge with a turnout of 93.24%, while men's turnout was 91.74%. This trend of increasing female participation has been evident since 2011 when women began outvoting men across various elections. The Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has capitalized on this trend by implementing several welfare schemes aimed at women, including the Kanyashree scheme for girls' education and the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme providing monthly cash assistance to women. Historically, women's turnout lagged behind men's until recent years, with significant strides made since the 2011 elections, which ended 34 years of Left rule in the state. Political analysts attribute this shift to increased political consciousness among women and demographic changes, including male migration for job opportunities. The TMC's focus on women's empowerment has solidified its support base, while the opposition, particularly the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has struggled to gain traction in this environment.
