Telangana saw a 65.67 percent voter turnout from its 3.32 crore electorate during the May 13 polling, as part of the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha polls. This marks an increase of 2.83 percent compared to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, where BRS secured 9 seats, BJP 4, Congress 3, and AIMIM 1.

In addition, the counting for Secunderabad Cantonment constituency by-poll is also underway where the Congress appears to be in the lead. The by-election was held due to the sudden demise of sitting MLA G Lasya Nanditha from BRS, in a road mishap.
