For the first time in Karnataka, all-woman polling booths have been established across the State. Called ‘Sakhi’, these pink booths are those fully managed by women officers.
Pictures of women staff dressed in pink clothing adorn the booth. The police staff here too are women. There are women medical staff too, equipped with necessary first aid material and ORS packs.
In some pink booths, voters are greeted with roses. There are ‘selfie booths’ too in these premises with the idea to encourage more voters to cast their ballot without fail.
The pink booths made its debut in Punjab Assembly polls and is being followed since then.
