Shimoga: In an innovative bid to entice voters to exercise their democratic right, the Shimoga Zilla Panchayat in Karnataka has unveiled a polling booth that has majestic thrones reserved for voters.

Mooting the idea that in a democracy citizens are the lords, the unique polling station has put up thrones for voters depicting them as Kings and Queens.

The exercise seemed to be a hit with voters who posed for pictures on the 'thrones' with crowns on their heads after casting their votes at the polling booth.

Earlier, CEC Rajiv Kumar urged people to participate in the general elections in maximum number. (with ANI inputs)
