Tamil Nadu voters went to the polls on Monday in local body elections, with Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa casting her vote in the Chennai Corporation election. Polling officials marked voters’ fingers with indelible ink, including Jayalalithaa and Tiruchi Collector Jayashree Muralidharan. The Hindu photographs showed a 94-year-old woman voting in Kattur, Tiruchi, and long queues of women at a polling booth in Threspuram, Tuticorin, identified as sensitive. The report, published on October 17, 2011, did not provide turnout figures or details of any polling disruption.
