PM Modi Casts 1st Vote As Polling Begins For New Vice President
India will welcome a new Vice President by nightfall September 9. But will it be the BJP-led ruling alliance's pick of Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan? Or will the INDIA bloc's ex-Supreme Court judge, Justice B Sudershan Reddy, deliver a shock? Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the first one to cast a vote as polling began at 10 am. The voting will continue till 5 pm, and the counting will begin post 6 pm. The election process is fairly straightforward. All MPs, elected or nominated, can vote. They do so in a secret ballot, meaning each can vote as they wish and not along party lines.
