Mysuru, Apr 3: After a big success of Tribal booths in the 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections, the District administration has decided to double the number and set up six Polling booths specially to attract Triabal voters in Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha constituency where Polling will be held in the First phase on April 18.

Last year, three booths had been set up which was well received by the Adivasi voters and consequently the poll percentage in those booths had seen considerable rise, thanks to enthusiastic voting by the inhabitants of tribal settlements.

The booths had been identified based on the population of Tribals living in the vicinity. And the initiative is to bring them to the polling booths and participate actively in the “Festival of Democracy”.
