A snake was found inside a VVPAT machine in a polling boot at Kerala’s Kannur during the third phase of voting on Tuesday (23 April), Press Trust of India has reported.
This incident happened at a booth in the Mayyil Kandakkai area of the constituency. Panic spread among the voters and the polling officials following the discovery of the snake and the voting had to be temporarily stopped.
The snake though was soon evicted from his dwelling and voting resumed soon after.
In 2015 wildlife had struck a polling booth in Bihar’s Bakhtiyarpur assembly constituency. It was reported that a monkey had entered a model polling booth and attacked four individuals including two journalists. Nitish Kumar was scheduled to vote at the boot later in the day.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
