“Similarly, Gursharan Kaur, wife of former Prime Minister late Dr Manmohan Singh, cast her vote availing the home voting facility,” it said.
Notably, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Singh had also utilised this facility to participate in the electoral process.
It may be mentioned that former Vice President Hamid Ansari had earlier cast his vote by availing the mobile postal ballot facility.
The home voting facility is available to voters above 85 years of age and PwDs offering them the option to cast their votes from their homes.
