TN polls: 1.59 lakh elders opt for postal ballots

A vehicle with an ‘election duty’ sticker drove into an apartment off Velachery Main Road at noon. R Venkatramani, 81, beamed with joy when a team of six polling staff, including a micro observer and a security personnel, made their way to his flat on the third floor. “I should thank you all for coming home. One should never miss voting,” the retired banker said, looking eager to cast his vote at home like 1.59 lakh elderly people who chose postal ballots elsewhere in the state.
