election fever-voters' apathy

The D-day is fast approaching. The heat and dust of the campaigning reaches its zenith. So does the mercury level. The Sun becomes strong day by day.
The EC may propose to air-condition all the polling booths. This would be more effective than the Loksatta’s ads. It will definitely beat the apathy of the voters. A cup of ice cream, a glass of fruit juice or a tender coconut for the voters waiting in the serpentine queues will certainly improve the turnout at the booths further. (Becareful…serving the pesticolas may have an adverse effect on the turn out!)
More over it would save the voter from the sunstroke. But there is no way out for the leaders who are affected by ‘son stroke’.
The EC may be requested to exempt this expenditure from the candidate’s account. Sipping a chilled drink may at least mollify the agitated candidates. It will also pacify the warring contestants. What else would woo the voters better in the blazing summer?
