Reflections of a trend? Bangalore turnout lowest in five elections
Experts say the low voter turnout in the city reflects an increasing trend across India, where the urban middle class and rich do not vote because they feel an election does not affect their daily lives.

The percentage is low because many voters could not vote as their names were missing from the list. No one has bothered to check that. Instead media is propagating this feeling that it's a middle-class phenomena. Just dishing out figures from the EC is not an objective way of getting to the truth.
