Supervising the polling process turned out to be a pleasant experience for Jeen Varghese, the presiding officer of the all-women pink booth in Kochi city.
Besides Ms. Varghese, the head of Electronics department of BPC College, Piravom, T.R. Remi of Kshethra Pravesana Memorial Vocational Higher Secondary School, Poothotta, M.C. Millet of Government Higher Secondary School, Puthenthode, and V. Sreevidya, Block Development Officer, Kochi, were also part of the team of officials who organised polling from the booth set up at SRV Lower Primary School.
The entrance to the 91st booth was decked up using pink balloons and artificial flowers to give the room a festive look. “It was my first assignment at a pink booth. All the polling officials and Student Police Corps members offered the required support for the team,” said Ms. Varghese. The booth saw brisk voting from the morning hours as 36% of votes were polled during the first four hours.
