The polling booth housed at Tribal Residential School in Shenbagathoppu had the lowest number of voters.
It had only 62 voters in the rolls. By 5 p.m., 52 voters had cast their votes. However, the five polling officials, two staff distributing single-use gloves, and a couple of police personnel were still waiting for the rest of the voters.
The booth is located in the foothills of Western Ghats where 30 families were residing in Justice Bhagavathi Nagar. Since, it is located 10 km away from Srivilliputtur, the officials had met their demand to set up a separate booth.
