Ditching home voting, 80 years & above reach booths to cast their vote

IndiaTimes Sunday, 26 November 2023
Octogenarians, nonagenarians, and even centenarians in Jaipur chose to cast their votes from polling booths instead of voting from home. Jitender Pal, an 85-year-old partially paralyzed voter, expressed that the idea of home voting made him feel physically disabled and he wanted to prove his capability by coming to the polling booth. Senior citizens were provided with e-rickshaw pick-up and drop-off services in almost all constituencies. Another octogenarian, Kashmiri Lal Kataria, who was recently discharged from the hospital, insisted on visiting the booth to observe the parties' efforts.
