When it comes to elections, women in Himachal Pradesh have been known to assert their voting rights more than men.
In the 2012 Vidhan Sabha elections, 69 percent men polled their votes as opposed to 76 percent women. But the situation is far less promising when it comes to giving women party tickets. In the 2017 elections, both the Congress and the BJP have neglected to give tickets to women. The BJP has given tickets to only six women, whereas the Congress has made room for only three.
