Women Voters Outnumber Men In All 5 Assam Lok Sabha Seats Voting Today

Women, who outnumber male voters in all the five Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam going to polls in the first phase, came out in large numbers to exercise their franchise today.

It was an 18-kilometer trek through the dense forest filled with wild animals for a team of nine polling officials, comprising three women, to record the vote of a bedridden citizen in Kerala's Idukki district.

Several social media users shared a video of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan purportedly talking about two types of 'guarantees' given to the citizens - 'good and bad' - to claim that he endorsed Congress party's campaign for the forthcoming Lok Sabha

Accompanied by his friends dressed in traditional attires, a groom decked up in sherwani and colourful headgear was among the first to cast his vote at a polling booth in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur.

Voting for the first phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections began today in 21 states and Union Territories. In the first of the seven-phase election, voting is being held for 102 seats.

Polling for the first phase of Lok Sabha election is being held amid a legal battle in the Supreme Court over Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), first introduced in 2004.
