Voters can pick a time slot to cast their votes, avoiding long queues in MP

Mandsaur Collector OP Shrivastva said the queue-less voting facility would 'disappoint' many voters because standing in serpentine queues was part and parcel of the voting process

To queue or not to queue

Bhopal Collector Sudama Khade informed officials at a review meeting in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh on Monday that the state administration had organised queue-less voting in a few polling stations. Voters could pick a time slot to cast their votes, avoiding long queues. Not all were impressed. For one, Mandsaur Collector OP Shrivastva had a problem: “Even our honourable President and Prime Minister exercise their voting rights standing in a queue.” He added that the queue-less voting facility would “disappoint” many voters because standing in serpentine queues was part and parcel of the voting process.
