Electorate along coastal belt beats pandemic blues as they vote in large numbers
It was an hour since the voting had started and as he emerged from the polling booth at ALPS in the coastal panchayat of Mulavukad after casting his vote, M.K. Nishad, a casual worker, had a smile on his face.
“There was social distancing but no delay. It was far smoother than I had expected,” he said with the mask firmly in place. Having dropped in at the booth, K.B. Sunil, the LDF candidate from ward 3, was relieved that the pandemic hasn’t kept voters away.
