In the dance of democracy, early voters get the medal!

Guwahati: Queuing up early to cast your vote doesn’t just make you feel like responsible citizens, but also fetches you the Election Commission (EC) medal for ‘early voters’.

Along with the rest of India, several voters were awarded with the medals by the authorities concerned in a bid to encourage voter turnout.

At Mawryngkneng polling booth in Meghalaya, for instance, journalist Shweta Raj Kanwar received the medal for a second consecutive time.
