A 103-year-old woman cast her vote in Assam's Dhubri today in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections. Video footage from Mankachar town shows the woman being escorted to a polling station by a relative before she enters the booth and casts her vote.
According to election commission data, approximately 10.12 per cent of the 81.49 lakh eligible voters cast their votes during the initial two hours of polling in four Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam today. Among these, Dhubri saw the highest turnout with 10.75 per cent, followed by Guwahati at 10.38 per cent, Kokrajhar at 9.77 per cent, and Barpeta at 9.26 per cent by 9 am.
Sparse queues marked the early hours of voting at the 9,516 polling stations, likely due to heavy rainfall the night before. However, authorities anticipate an increase in voter participation as the day progresses.
