LUCKNOW: When Lucknow will go to polls on May 6, there will be more voters aged 80 years and above than first-time voters aged 18-19 years.According to data accessed by TOI from the district election office, the total numbers of voters in Lucknow district-it comprises Lucknow and Mohanlalganj Lok Sabha constituencies-is 36.3 lakh. The maximum number of those exercising their franchise would be those aged 30-39 years.The age-wise break-up shows that 50,587 voters (1.4%) are above 80 years of age and 48,927 (1.3%) are first-time voters in the 18-19 age group. The elderly voters outnumber the first-timers in both Lucknow and Mohanlalganj constituencies. The total number of voters in Lucknow Lok Sabha constituency are 19.8 lakh. This includes 26,129 (1.3%) voters aged above 80 and 25,784 (1.3%) aged 18-19 years.However, in two out of five assembly segments of Lucknow constituency, the number of first-time voters is more than those aged 80 and above. These segments are Lucknow North and Lucknow West. Political analysts say that all political parties may be going after first-time voters but they cannot afford to ignore the elderly. "Politicians need to strike a balance because most of them try to woo the youth. Youngsters may get swayed through social media but senior citizens mostly vote after thorough consideration. They can assess who is serious and who is making only promises. Political parties need to give space to issues of senior citizens like pension, old-age care, health and security, in manifestos," said Prof Pawan Kumar Misra from the sociology department of Lucknow University.
