The highest-turnout constituencies tend to be in states with a strong tradition of civic participation — often rural, often in the Northeast, Kerala, West Bengal, or hill states — where parties have well-organised booth-level workers and voters treat polling day as a community event. High turnout doesn't favour any one party uniformly; it tends to amplify whichever side has the better organisation on the ground.
