A large number of voters turned out to cast their votes in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024 in Gadchiroli district on Wednesday, since 7 am. One voter who stood out among the rest was 111-year-old Phulmati Binod Sarkar from Govindpur village in Mulchera. 

Despite the Election Commission of India giving citizens above the age of 85 the option of home voting, Sarkar made her way to the polling station to exercise her franchise and send out a message to voters, especially the youth.
