Mizoram council election: Single paper ballot carried for 40km to keep lone voter’s choice secret; EVM could reveal it

Officials arranged a special paper ballot for privacy. This workaround ensured the voter's secret choice was preserved. The village's demographics have shifted due to refugees from Myanmar. The election highlights the importance of voter confidentiality.
