This
study explores women's participation in Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh
from 2012 to the present, examining their roles as voters and political
representatives. Despite constitutional provisions for gender equality and
reservations in local bodies, women’s political representation in Uttar Pradesh
remains low. The research investigates the historical context, voting patterns,
and active political involvement of women in the state. Data reveals an
increasing trend in female voter turnout, surpassing male voters in some
elections. However, their representation as elected representatives remains
disproportionately low, with only 47 women winning seats out of 403 in the 2022
Assembly elections.
