714 million people will vote in this election, 43 million more than 671 million people last time.
All villages with 300 or more voters will be given a separate polling booth.
If there is any problem of intimidation or such, a polling booth will be awarded even if the population is less than 300.
Thus, a polling booth in Gujarat has a single voter. There are only two voters in a polling booth in Chhattisgarh and only 3 voters in polling booths of 3 other states.
