A Polling Booth for 10 Voters
The best example that underlines India’s commitment to Democracy is what’s happening in the elections that are about to commence in Jammu & Kashmir with nearly 6,500,000 voters eligible to cast their vote.
India is setting up a polling booth in Ladhakh for just 10 people!
Yes, there are only 10 registered voters in this booth (No. 10) at Sunudo in Nobra frontier region, making it the smallest polling station in these elections, perhaps even the smallest ever in an Indian election.
This TOI story on polling preparations in J&K has some other interesting statistics.
