Question

Which was the first Indian state to go for internet voting? (Andhra Pradesh/Gujarat)​

Answer 1

Voting in India was made compulsory for all citizens above the age of 18 so that all Indians have equal say in the election process under the Universal Adult Franchise. A lot of people were unable to cast their votes due to health, safety, distance and various other problems. This hindered the belief in the equal vote.

Thus, to solve this issue or to bring some relief, Gujrat became the first Indian state to go for Internet Music.
