In 2013, this writer got her first taste of elections when she noticed Vasundhara Raje’s face plastered in every nook and cranny of the city, her voice blaring through the TV in her dining room. The year after, even though the ten-year-old couldn’t entirely comprehend the “abki baar, Modi sarkaar” slogan, the blue ink mark on her parents’ index finger had her excited about the power of a vote.
Fast forward ten years and a shift to the maximum city, it’s time for us to cast her first vote. Choosing between travelling back to Rajasthan to vote or staying here and exploring options like postal voting or migrating voter ID was like choosing the lesser of the two evils. Postal voting isn’t an option anymore as it requires eligible voters to apply, Form 12 D, to the returning officer (RO) of their respective constituency and hence was ruled out.
