Only one voter from Shahpur village in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara constituency cast vote as the rest boycotted polling to protest the denial of ticket by the Congress to a local leader from another seat.

Of 1,063 registered voters in the village, only one person cast his vote when the polling was about to end. The man who cast his vote is Kotwar who are appointed to disseminate information about welfare schemes.

The same polling booth had recorded 99 per cent voting in 2018.
