The voters of Landhai village in this district have decided to boycott the coming assembly elections protesting the shifting of the polling booth from their locality to a place four kms away.
Local village head Thangavelu said the polling booth was shifted to Karungulam in 2011 and since then the residents had been fighting to get it back but to no avail.
As a mark of protest, the village panchayat had decided to boycott the elections, he said.
There were 963 voters in Landhai and they would not vote in the May 16 elections, he added.
