The Election Commission of India on March 16 said that 12 states in India have a higher number of women voters than men with a total of 47.1 crore women registered on the electoral rolls across India. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar made a mention of this during a press conference held to announce dates for Lok Sabha elections 2024 and state assemblies. However, specific names of the states were not provided during the conference.

Kumar added that the gender ratio of 948 women to 1000 men across the country is a "very healthy sign" and hailed the gender parity in electoral participation.
