A journey to a remote corner of India to capture one vote of 900 million, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_ko3QeypoY, 4 min. 11 secs, published by the Washington Post on 18th April 2019
Ravi: The single voter covered in this video, is in India's north eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh which borders China. Interesting to note the pains the govt. officials took to enable her to cast her vote.
But I think if a postal ballot arrangement or something on those lines was made for such cases, it would have been more appropriate. Enabling her right to vote is vital. But perhaps India should look at how USA handles such cases of voting in remote areas of USA (USA is a huge country which some say should be viewed as a continent and not a country).
