Braving the heat wave conditions, voters turned up to the polling booths in Mysuru, Mandya, and Chamarajanagar to cast their ballots. They did not lack enthusiasm despite the searing heat and headed to the booths with protection like caps, shades, and water bottles (especially in urban areas) to vote.
The districts have been witnessing extreme heat wave conditions for the past several days and the summer this year is intense with prolonged dry weather.
As expected, most booths saw brisk polling as people stood in queues with voter IDs and other ID proofs for their turn to vote.
