India’s elections are all set to be kicked off on April 19 — scheduled in seven phases and to be completed in six weeks — making it the biggest electoral exercise to choose the next prime minister of India.
There are 18 million (teens) first-time voters while there are 197 million their Voters in twenties.
Interestingly, Pilopatia is a remote enclave nestled within India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands and , just 9.7 meters (32 feet) above sea level.
The elections journey in the Pilopatia is worth reading.
The election journey begins from Port Blair where election officials first take a ship then a speed boat and then another small dingi and finally they take a hodi — a traditional boat used by the local tribe — to reach the nine voters of the area.
The entire journey takes 24 hours and the last leg of the journey was pretty dangerous as is through the mangrove swamps infested with crocodiles. The officials carry voting machines with them and voting boxes with them to reach the area.
