The table above and bar graph below clearly show decline in voter turnout percentage, when the size of booth crosses 1,400 voters. When the size crosses 1,600 voters, the decline is even sharper. Whereas the turnout percentage in Bangalore is lower till the booth size is about 1,600 voters, for booths larger than that, the figures are close to those of Karnataka as a whole.

As the number of voters in a booth increases it puts the weak, not so healthy and older people at a disadvantage as they may not be in a physical condition to wait for long hours. Hence it automatically reduces voting percentage.
If election commission can make use of the data that you mined and uses logical approach, may be they will be able to find the optimal number of voters for a booth to increase the voting percentage.
I believe there are good people in the system and if we can make such ideas reach those people then we might get a chance to better the system.
Here is a link that contains all the email ID of the people manning the election commission.
Request you to send your article to all these email IDs so that we can improve the odds of reaching those good people that matter in the system.
