Polling booths set up inside some gated communities in Chennai and neighbouring districts improved voter convenience during Thursday's Assembly election. The initiative particularly eased access for senior residents. However, many in the southern suburbs missed out on the facility despite applications.
Residents of some gated communities in Chennai and neighbouring districts were able to cast their votes within their premises during Thursday's Assembly election. The setup aimed at enhancing voter convenience, particularly benefiting senior residents by reducing travel needs.
In Prince Village Phase II, Tondiarpet, two polling booths were established in the party hall, including a green booth to promote environmental awareness. Residents there turned out in large numbers to vote.
However, many residents in the southern suburbs reported missing out on the facility despite having applied for it. The initiative has been credited with boosting overall turnout in the participating communities.
