It was a challenge to prepare voters’ list at the time of the first election. Illiteracy rate was very high in our country. Therefore, the procedure to vote and making the voter list was a challenge.
20 lac steel boxes were made and election symbols of political parties were stuck on it.
Blank ballot papers were given to the voters and they were supposed to drop in the box having the election symbols of the party they decide to vote for.
Even the illiterate people could vote because of this system.
