As the polling got off to a start in Mysuru city, it was the elders who were in larger numbers than the young voters. Some polling booths saw voters over 90 years walking with their children or grandchildren’s help to cast their vote. There was enthusiasm to celebrate the festival of democracy.
Less than 2,000 elderly voters above 85 years of age opted to vote from the home facility in Mysuru Lok Sabha seat while the remaining turned up to the booths to exercise their franchise. While many were not aware of the facility, others chose to vote at the booth on the polling day.
