A total of 91 constituencies across 20 states in the country are voting in the first phase of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Citizen journalists have told The Quint’s My Report that while some polling booths are disabled-friendly, others lack ramps and further arrangements for the disabled and elderly.
In Mizoram and Shillong, for example, poll volunteers were deployed to help senior citizens and disabled at many booths.
