New Delhi [India], June 1 (ANI): As voting for the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha election 2024 continued on Saturday, voters have been lining up across the country to exercise their franchise.
Several specially-abled individuals have stepped forward to participate in the democratic process.

Among the voters was an 85-year-old person with disabilities (PwD) in Odisha’s Baripada, who was brought to the polling booth to cast his vote.

After voting, he emphasized the importance of every individual participating in the democratic process.
An eyewitness said, “When I reached to vote, I saw that a disabled voter was provided with a wheelchair and taken to the polling booth. After voting, they were dropped back at the entrance. I was very happy to see this. It was the first time I saw such arrangements. Perhaps similar arrangements were made at all the booths. I am very pleased with the government for making such provisions.”

In Uttar Pradesh’s Chandauli, another PwD voter, Pooja, arrived at the polling booth on a tricycle to cast her vote.

Additionally, in a unique display of voter awareness, a man arrived on a horse at a polling station in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, to cast his vote.

He says, “In the 2012, 2017 and 2022 assembly elections and 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls also I had arrived on horse to cast my vote.”
The seventh and the final phase of polling for Lok Sabha elections on June 1 across seven states and the Union Territory of Chandigarh saw a voter turnout of 40.09 per cent till 1 pm, the Election Commission (ECI) said on Saturday.

After the conclusion of voting, the outcome of exit polls will be aired on various TV channels.
The Election Commission has issued a ban on exit polls from 7 am on April 19 to 6:30 pm on June 1, till the conclusion of polling. The high-voltage campaigning for the final phase of Lok Sabha polls ended on Thursday.
