The old proverb, 'Morning shows the day', was proved correct by women voters and youngsters who started queuing up in front of polling booths at dawn on Saturday. By 5 pm, Manipur registered an all-time turnout of over 84 per cent in the first phase of the assembly election. The excitement among young voters was seen across the Imphal valley.
