Love and Duty: Couple Votes Post-Wedding

A newlywed couple from Kovalam, A L B Ashwanth and N Bindu, exemplified civic duty by voting immediately after their wedding. The couple arrived at the Vazhammuttom polling booth around 12:30 PM on polling day, following their morning ceremony at the Subramanya Temple in Kunnumpara. Despite a significant queue, they were determined to cast their ballots.

Booth level officials recognized the couple's dedication and the approaching auspicious 'muhurtham' time for the bride's traditional entry into her new home. To ensure they could fulfill both their personal and civic responsibilities, the officials promptly assisted them. Ashwanth later stated that voting was a priority, even on such a personally significant day, a sentiment that resonated positively with election officials and other voters.
