Mysuru: The Election Commission and the District Administration are setting up special ‘Sakhi’, or ‘Pink’, polling booths for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Election. These special booths will be staffed entirely by women — from the presiding officers to the micro-observers and security personnel. This is being done to attract more women to vote.
There will be at least 450 such booths across the State and the booths will be painted pink, decorated with pink balloons, tablecloths, walls, etc., and the officials will all be dressed in shades of pink.
