200 million voter turnout with about 700 million registered voters isn't a very good turnout. Historically India has had 50-60% voter turnout. Each presidential cycle in the USA in recent history comes out to around the same, 50-60%.
Overall though, the USA and India suck compared to other representative rule countries. The top ten countries for turnout have turnouts above 90%.
So yay! Go voter turnouts in all representative rule countries!
But yes, this is the wrong forum for this topic. Too bad your baiting failed. Hard.

Again, I ask - WHAT is the "appropriate" forum?
And, these are not NATIONAL elections, they are REGIONAL. I am certain that, when all are completed in a month or so, there will be a pretty large turnout.
Voter turnout is expected to 70% in this election; there is a lot of of dissatisfaction with the Congress Party, and there is a lot of hype around the BJP Prime Minister hopeful. Out of around about 800 million eligible voters, about 560 million of them are going to show up at the voting booth.
Voter turnout is probably going to be over 70% from here on out. The demographic group that was least likely to vote in previous elections was rural women; however, there has been a significant push to target this demographic by just about every relevant political party.
It's about millions of people exercising their right to vote for their government.
Nice try.
No, it was your jab at opponents of Voter ID that made this into a baiting topic more suitable for P&OC. You can't help but insert your P&OC habits in every topic you make outside of P&OC
