Seventy-year-old Gauthami emerged from the polling booth at SNVSUPS, Eroor, in Thripunithura Assembly constituency a sweaty and frustrated soul. She had taken her place in the queue right at the beginning of polling only to be told that she will have to wait as the Electronic Voting Machine has developed a snag even before a single vote was cast. Eventually, the machine was replaced and polling started at around 8.15 a.m. Gauthami was among the large number of voters who turned up at polling booths across Thripunithura Assembly constituency which witnessed a brisk start to polling.
