Thirty minutes into polling on April 24, at 7:30am the booth at Raja Muthiah School, R A Puram is already quite full.
Residents trickled in and out in a steady flow. There was not much of police presence, just an officer or two, keeping each line in order. “It is a very well organized, well maintained booth. The personnel are patient and helpful.” said the Murthys, residents of R A Puram.
However there appeared to be no ramp here for those who were physically disabled.
A short distance away from the booth were little counters, run by members of political parties (mostly AIDMK although there was a BJP counter which was empty). The job of the men at these counters was to give those who do not have a voting slip but are on the supplementary voters list a separate slip by which they can vote.
