Three people cast their votes at the remote Pachakkanam polling booth located deep within the Periyar Tiger Reserve. The booth was specifically set up at the Pachakkanam Anganwadi to accommodate a total of six registered voters: five men and one woman.
The first voter, 62-year-old Silvester, cast his ballot around 7 a.m. He was later joined by two other voters, Aravindakshan and Prabu. Interestingly, Silvester was the only person to vote at this booth during the last local body election.
