From ferrying the elderly and differently-abled in 'dolis' to making arrangements for COVID-19 patients, the Election Commission on Monday ensured people in Goa, Uttarakhand and parts of Uttar Pradesh do not miss out on voting in the assembly elections.
Voting was held peacefully in all the three states, officials said.
While assembly polls in Goa and Uttarakhand were completed in a single phase, for Uttar Pradesh, Monday was the second of a seven-phase election.
Here are a few glimpses of voters exercising their franchise.
