However TOI reports the total voter count increased to 19.37 lakh on the last count in 2013. The reason for this increase is attributed to rapid urbanization and setting up of residential and commercial units at a high pace. Clearly there is an increase of 5.77 lakh registered voters for 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
