Kerala woman denied vote over bandaged finger, waits 5 hours with child without food
What began as a routine voting day in Kerala’s Thrissur turned into an hours-long ordeal for a young woman, sparking widespread debate online. Akshaya, a resident of Koorkenchery, arrived at the polling booth set up at Bodhananda School around 1.30 pm. However, she was stopped from voting because her left index finger, the finger typically marked with indelible ink, was covered with a bandage.
