First Vote

Finally, I did my first vote. Though, it happened little late, it's always a good feeling that - before getting matured (18 Years) twice - I was able to do it. I never had the voters id card in Kerala. After we moved to our own house in Bangalore, we decided to apply for the voters id card. It was an initiative from the apartment itself - as we had/still have a belief that - we can demand something from the political parties, if we have a vote. Mainly it's related to the road in front of our apartment and the extremely bad smell coming from the Nellurhalli lake.
We gave Form 6 to everyone who was interested in getting a voter id in our apartment. Filled the forms, attached the required documents (Electricity bill, id proof, address proof etc) and gave it through some local political people. Even after 2 months, we didn't get any information. Finally all of us re submitted the forms through BBMP office and that went through.

Our names are available in the karnataka electoral roll published by the chief election officer's office. We checked the details and there was one mistake in Radhika's age - it was 6 years more. Our polling booth was next to our house (<500 meters="" p="">
Today morning, I went for voting with the part number, electoral id number etc. and id proof. There was a small queue of 3-4 people over there and everything happened within a matter of 5 minutes.

For getting the physical voter id card - There are 2 options
1. Wait for it to reach the BBMP office
2. Go to BangaloreOne Head Office at Indiranagar and get it printed by providing required details.

May 16th (1 more month) is the counting day - Let's see who will rule India!!!
