62% voting in J&K; highest in 18 years
The last phase of polling in Srinagar has been a face-saving exercise for both the J&K government and separatists. For the government the voter turnout is much higher than what it was in 2002, and for the separatists it's the lowest compared to the earlier six phases of polling. But one thing is for sure that the 2008 elections are seen as the most transparent electoral process in the history of J&K.
