EVM glitches, power failures, and heavy rainfall did not deter voters in Kerala as some districts in the state went to polls in phase III of Lok Sabha elections on Tuesday. Nine people, however, died across the state on the election day, including a 72-year-old who collapsed minutes before he could vote.
"We registered 74.50 per cent voting in the state till 6 pm while voting was still on in many polling stations," Joint Chief Electoral Officer for Kerala Jeevan Babu said, adding that the constituency of Kannur had seen the largest voting turnout of over 79 per cent with Wayanad following at over 77.93 per cent till 6 pm.
