Bengaluru is known for urban voter apathy. To increase the voter turnout in this Assembly election, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has set up 264 theme-based polling stations in the city.
The themes include health, youth, culture, pink, transgender, millet, go green, persons with disabilities, environment, science and technology, ex-servicemen and sports.
According to officials, these unique polling stations will highlight the local culture and heritage along with creating awareness. A high-visibility canvas has been made on the walls of the classrooms-turned-polling booths.
